Task.js – Isomorphic work distribution across all cores

In plain words

Task.js is a JavaScript library that distributes computational work across all available processor cores in both browser and Node.js environments. It enables developers to parallelize tasks isomorphically, meaning the same code can run on multiple cores without platform-specific modifications. The library is designed for developers who need to handle CPU-intensive operations without blocking the main thread. It's open source and available on GitHub.

  I've been making JavaScript sandbox alone for 6 years2022 · playcode.io · ▲397

  Hi HN! Thanks for your attention to my post. It was a big challenge to run most of Node.js packages in browser, fast moreover. Virtual File system, resolve import/export. I got cold many times, depressions, burned out, yet still alive and finished it. Many guys helped me with an advice. Many users give a lot of positive feedback. There are 200,000 monthly unique users. I work full time now because of the freemium business model. To be honest - I am happy after many years of hard work.

  Talanoa▲346

  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…
