Hacker News (score: 13)Description
It lets you define orchestration (next, previous steps), validation, and views via a single config object. No more if/else spaghetti or scattered state.

Show HN: Grammit – Local-only AI grammar checker (Chrome extension)
Show HN: Grammit – Local-only AI grammar checker (Chrome extension) Hey HN, I wanted a grammar checker that didn’t send my writing to someone's servers, so we built Grammit, a Chrome extension that runs grammar checks locally using an LLM. Your text never leaves your computer during checking.<p>Here’s a 2-minute overview: <a href="https://www.loom.com/share/baf501ee6cf14a919a7384128246ed67" rel="nofollow">https://www.loom.com/share/baf501ee6cf14a919a7384128246ed67</a><p>Because it uses an LLM, it catches more than spelling and grammar. For example, it can correct some wrong statements like “The first US president was Benjamin Franklin.”<p>Grammit also includes an in-page writing assistant that can rephrase or draft new text. It also uses the local LLM.<p>We used many new web features to build this, such as:<p>- Chrome’s new Prompt API to talk to the local model.<p>- Anchor Positioning API to place the UI with minimal impact on the DOM.<p>- CSS Custom Highlights API for inline error marking.<p>- The new CSS sign() function to create CSS-driven layout with discontinuities.<p>Part of the fun of being early adopters of bleeding edge tech is we’re discovering new Chrome bugs (e.g., <a href="https://issues.chromium.org/issues/428354426" rel="nofollow">https://issues.chromium.org/issues/428354426</a>, <a href="https://issues.chromium.org/issues/428039224" rel="nofollow">https://issues.chromium.org/issues/428039224</a>).<p>I’d love your feedback on:<p>- Where the UX feels rough<p>- What do you think of the corrections and suggestions<p>Happy to answer questions about the tech or the Prompt API. Thanks for trying it out!<p>Chrome Web Store extension link: <a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/grammit-the-ai-grammar-ch/pkfmoknmnkbidlniedaloiijibdpjjmm" rel="nofollow">https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/grammit-the-ai-gram...</a>

Show HN: Python file streaming 237MB/s on $8/M droplet in 507 lines of stdlib Quick Links:<p>- PyPI: <a href="https://pypi.org/project/axon-api/" rel="nofollow">https://pypi.org/project/axon-api/</a><p>- GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/b-is-for-build/axon-api" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/b-is-for-build/axon-api</a><p>- Deployment Script: <a href="https://github.com/b-is-for-build/axon-api/blob/master/examples/deployment_scripts/deploy-axon.sh" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/b-is-for-build/axon-api/blob/master/examp...</a><p>Axon is a 507-line, pure Python WSGI framework that achieves up to 237MB/s file streaming on $8/month hardware. The key feature is the dynamic bundling of multiple files into a single multipart stream while maintaining bounded memory (<225MB). The implementation saturates CPU before reaching I/O limits.<p>Technical highlights:<p>- Pure Python stdlib implementation (no external dependencies)<p>- HTTP range support for partial content delivery<p>- Generator-based streaming with constant memory usage<p>- Request batching via query parameters<p>- Match statement-based routing (eliminates traversal and probing)<p>- Built-in sanitization and structured logging<p>The benchmarking methodology uses fresh Digital Ocean droplets with reproducible wrk tests across different file sizes. All code and deployment scripts are included.

Show HN: Sidequest.js – Background jobs for Node.js using your database Hey HN,<p>I'm the maintainer of node-cron (5M+ downloads/month), and I recently built Sidequest.js, a background job runner for Node.js inspired by Oban (Elixir) and Sidekiq (Rails).<p>It solves some common problems I saw with libraries like node-cron:<p>- Jobs don’t block your API: they run in isolated worker threads<p>- No Redis or vendor lock-in: use Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, or MongoDB<p>- Supports retries, uniqueness, concurrency, snoozing, prioritization<p>- Comes with a CLI and a simple dashboard<p>- Works great in monoliths and doesn’t require extra infra<p>Quick start (no signup needed): <a href="https://docs.sidequestjs.com/quick-start" rel="nofollow">https://docs.sidequestjs.com/quick-start</a><p>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/sidequestjs/sidequest" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sidequestjs/sidequest</a><p>Would love feedback or feature suggestions.

Show HN: ELF Injector
Show HN: ELF Injector The ELF Injector allows you to "inject" arbitrary-sized relocatable code chunks into ELF executables. The code chunks will run before the original entry point of the executable runs.<p>Included in the project are sample chunks as well as a step-by-step tutorial on how it works.<p>It's a mix of C and assembly and currently runs on 32-bit ARM though it's easy to port to other architectures.

Show HN: Tinykv – Minimal file-backed key-value store for Rust
Show HN: Tinykv – Minimal file-backed key-value store for Rust I built tinykv because I kept reaching for simple persistent storage in Rust projects but found existing solutions either too complex (sled) or unmaintained (pickledb).<p>tinykv focuses on simplicity: JSON-based, serde-powered, with optional TTL. Perfect for CLI tools, game saves, config storage.<p>Would appreciate any feedback from the HN community!
