Ultra-lightweight chunker library with emoji support

In plain words

Chonkify is a lightweight JavaScript and TypeScript library for dividing data into chunks. It works with arrays, strings, buffers, sets, maps, and async iterables, making it useful for batching streams and processing large datasets. The library correctly handles Unicode characters and emoji, weighs approximately 870 bytes, has no dependencies, and is built for modern ESM environments. It was created to eliminate repetitive chunking logic across projects.

  Chonkie – A Fast, Lightweight Text Chunking Library for RAG2024 · github.com · ▲199

  I built Chonkie because I was tired of rewriting chunking code for RAG applications. Existing libraries were either too bloated (80MB+) or too basic, with no middle ground. Core features: - 21MB default install vs 80-171MB alternatives - 33x faster token chunking than popular alternatives - Supports multiple chunking strategies: token, word, sentence, and semantic - Works with all major tokenizers (transformers, tokenizers, tiktoken) - Zero external dependencies for basic functionality Technical optimizations: - Uses tiktoken with multi-threading for faster tokenization - Implements…

  Advanced Chunking in JavaScript/TypeScript with Chonkie2025 · ▲10

  Hi HN, We’re Shreyash and Bhavnick. We built Chonkie, an open-source library for advanced chunking and embedding of text and code. It was previously Python-only, but we just released a TypeScript version: https://github.com/chonkie-inc/chonkie-ts Many AI projects in JS/TS (like those using Vercel's AI SDK or Mastra) rely on basic text splitters. But better chunking = better retrieval = better performance. That’s what Chonkie is built for. Current native chunkers (in TS): - Code Chunker – handles Python, TypeScript, etc. - Recursive Chunker – rule-based, hierarchical…

  Chonky – a neural approach for text semantic chunking2025 · github.com · ▲169

  TLDR: I’ve made a transformer model and a wrapper library that segments text into meaningful semantic chunks. The current text splitting approaches rely on heuristics (although one can use neural embedder to group semantically related sentences). I propose a fully neural approach to semantic chunking. I took the base distilbert model and trained it on a bookcorpus to split concatenated text paragraphs into original paragraphs. Basically it’s a token classification task. Model fine-tuning took day and a half on a 2x1080ti. The library could be used as a text splitter module in a RAG system or…

  I'm an airline pilot – I built interactive graphs/globes of my flights▲1,539

  Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

  Workout.cool – Open-source fitness coaching platform▲827

  I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
