uWestJS
High-performance adapter (HTTP & WebSocket) for NestJS
What it does
A high performance platform adapter (HTTP & WebSocket) >> It uses raw C++ bindings (μWebSockets) under the hood to provide high throughput and req/s. >> The benchmarks are insanely good - 4-5x faster than Express and 2-2.5x faster than Fastify server. >> Works with all the existing NestJS patterns and decorators that you already know. >> Streaming support with automatic backpressure management. >> Room management and Broadcasting for WebSocket. >> Attracted 15+ contributors organically

I built µJS because I wanted AJAX navigation without the verbosity of HTMX or the overhead of Turbo. It intercepts links and form submissions, fetches pages via AJAX, and swaps fragments of the DOM. Single tag, one call to `mu.init()`. No build step, no dependencies. Key features: patch mode (update multiple fragments in one request), SSE support, DOM morphing via idiomorph, View Transitions, prefetch on hover, polling, and full HTTP verb support on any element. At ~5KB gzipped, it's smaller than HTMX (16KB) and Turbo (25KB), and works with any backend: PHP, Python, Go, Ruby, whatever.…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
