Zvec – The SQLite of Vector Databases
Zvec is a lightweight, SQLite-like embedded vector database purpose-built for edge and on-device workloads. It delivers four core advantages: out-of-the-box usability, configurable resource budgets, extreme performance, and versatile vector capabilities. Open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license, Zvec aims to provide developers with a one-stop path from prototyping to production deployment on the edge. Try Zvec—we’re excited to see your adoption, feedback, and contributions. For a more detailed introduction, you can refer to https://zvec.org/en/blog/introduction/

Hi HN, I built EdgeVec, a vector database that runs entirely in the browser. It implements HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) graphs for approximate nearest neighbor search. Performance: - Sub-millisecond search at 100k vectors (768 dimensions, k=10) - 148 KB gzipped bundle - 3.6x memory reduction with scalar quantization Use cases: browser extensions with semantic search, local-first apps, privacy-preserving RAG. Technical: Written in Rust, compiled to WASM. Uses AVX2 SIMD on native, simd128 on WASM. IndexedDB for browser persistence. npm:…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
