  • HelixDB – Open-source vector-graph database for AI applications (Rust)2025 · github.com · ▲237

    Hey HN, we want to share HelixDB (https://github.com/HelixDB/helix-db/), a project a college friend and I are working on. It’s a new database that natively intertwines graph and vector types, without sacrificing performance. It’s written in Rust and our initial focus is on supporting RAG. Here’s a video runthrough: https://screen.studio/share/szgQu3yq. Why a hybrid? Vector databases are useful for similarity queries, while graph databases are useful for relationship queries. Each stores data in a way that’s best for its main type of query (e.g.…

    CozoDB, Hybrid Relational-Graph-Vector Database2023 · docs.cozodb.org · ▲137

    Hi HN! We're thrilled to share CozoDB v0.6, a monumental update to our FOSS database, which already unifies relational and graph features. With the addition of vector search, CozoDB becomes an even better companion for LLMs like ChatGPT. This release introduces vector search using HNSW indices within Datalog, enabling seamless integration with powerful features such as ad-hoc joins, recursive Datalog, and classical whole-graph algorithms. This update significantly broadens CozoDB's capabilities. Check out the linked release note for an in-depth look at the new features, comparisons to other…

    We have been using graph DBs more and more at work. I found them painful to work with locally and decided to try and build something better.

  • VectorDBZ, a desktop GUI for vector databasesJan 2026 · github.com · ▲13

    Hi HN, I built VectorDBZ, a cross-platform desktop app for exploring and analyzing vector databases like Qdrant, Weaviate, Milvus, and ChromaDB. It lets you browse collections, inspect vectors and metadata, run similarity searches, and visualize embeddings without writing custom scripts. GitHub (downloads and issues): https://github.com/vectordbz/vectordbz Feedback welcome. If it’s useful, starring the repo helps keep me motivated. Thanks.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
