xxUTF – SIMD Unicode Normalization
In plain words
xxUTF is a software library for Unicode normalization using SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) technology. It is designed for developers who need to process and standardize Unicode text efficiently. The tool stands out by leveraging SIMD instructions to accelerate Unicode normalization operations, making it useful for applications that handle large volumes of text or require high-performance string processing. The project is available on GitHub.

- JKJustif – Knuth-Plass justification and microtypography for the webJul 2026 · justif.lyall.co · ▲198
Justif is a drop-in JavaScript library that progressively enhances web pages to TeX-level text justification. Installation is a single line, standard text and accessibility affordances are unchanged, and users with JS disabled get native browser rendering. I made justif because I've long been a fan of justified text. I think it looks clean and elegant, and makes reading more enjoyable. But bad justification is the opposite, with gaping spaces that distract me to the point of making the text near unreadable. Browsers have got better recently at handling justified text [0][1], but still use…
- MAMojibake – A low-level Unicode library written in CJul 2026 · mojibake.zaerl.com · ▲78
I've written Mojibake because I don't like the other Unicode libraries for Unicode support. It consists of only two amalgamation files: mojibake.h and mojibake.c. I've added all the most important Unicode algorithms, such as normalization, case conversion, segmentation, bidirectional text, collation, confusable, and others. I regularly test it in these OSes: Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Windows 11. You can find a WASM demo on that site of all the public API functions and the documentation. If you want to participate, feel free to do it. Any kind of help is welcome. Check the…

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

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…
