Show HN: Solidis – Tiny TS Redis client, no deps, for serverless
4 by jayl-e-e | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey everyone! Over the past two years I threw myself back into full-time engineering with a simple goal: write code that gives back to the community. After a lot of late-night FOMO (“AI will do it all for us, right?”) and some painful production incidents, I finally turned my weekend project into an open-source library. [ What is Solidis ? ] - Super-light (< 30 KB) RESP2/RESP3 client with zero runtime deps and first-class ESM/CJS support. - Fully tree-shakable – import only the commands you need. - Written with SOLID principles & full TypeScript typings for every command. - Designed for cold-start sensitive serverless platforms (small bundle + tiny memory footprint). [ Why I built it ] 1. node-redis & ioredis pain - ESM is still an after-thought. - Hidden deadlocks on RST, vague error surfaces. - Everything gets bundled, even commands you’ll never call. 2. I refuse to add a dependency I don’t fully understand – I literally read candidates 10× before `npm i`. 3. Serverless bills love to remind me that every KB and millisecond matters. [ Key features ] - Protocols: RESP2 and RESP3 (auto-negotiation) - Bundle size: `<30 KB` (core) / `<105 KB` (full) - Dependencies: 0 - Extensibility: Drop-in command plugins, custom transactions - Reliability: Auto-reconnect, per-command timeouts, type-checked replies [ Roadmap / Help wanted ] - Benchmarks against `node-redis` & `ioredis` (PRs welcome!) - More first-class Valkey love - Fuzz-testing the parser - Docs site – the README came first; I’d love help polishing full docs This might be my last big OSS push for a while, so stars, issues, and PRs mean the world . If Solidis saves you some cold-start time or just scratches a TypeScript itch, let me know! Repo: https://github.com/vcms-io/solidis License: MIT Thanks for reading, and happy hacking! (Feel free to AMA in the comments – I’m around.)

Show HN: Merliot – plugging physical devices into LLMs
3 by sfeldma | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Merliot Hub is an AI-integrated device hub. What does that mean? It means you can control and interact with your physical devices, your security cameras, your thermometer, seamlessly using natural language from an LLM host such as Claude Desktop or Cursor. The hub is a gateway between AI and the physical world. What could go wrong?

Show HN: Roast My Dish – AI roasts your food photos with brutal honesty
3 by romeumaleiane | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN!I created a web app called Roast My Dish, it's a fun side project where you upload a photo of your dish, and an AI chef roasts it brutally. After the roast, it gives you a personalized "redemption" recipe to help you improve (or laugh). It's built using Next.js, Tailwind.css, MongoDB, Azure Open Ai API, and I tried to mix entertainment with a bit of usefulness. Great for foodies, meme lovers, and anyone curious about AI + humor use cases. Would love your feedback or ideas to improve it!

Show HN: Fahmatrix – A Lightweight, Pandas-Like DataFrame Library for Java
8 by mousomashakel | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, I’ve built Fahmatrix, a minimal, fast Java library for working with tabular data — inspired by Python’s pandas, but designed for performance and simplicity on the JVM. After working extensively with Python’s data stack, I often ran into limitations related to speed, especially in larger or long-running data workflows. So I built Fahmatrix from scratch to offer similar APIs for manipulating CSVs, performing summary statistics, slicing rows/columns, and more — but all in Java. Features: Lightweight and dependency-free CSV/TSV import with auto-headers Series/DataFrame structures (like pandas) describe(), mean(), stdDev(), percentile() and more Fast parallel operations on numeric columns Java 17+ support Docs: https://ift.tt/HiVpLhr GitHub: https://ift.tt/qZfYU4b I’d love feedback from the Java and data communities — especially if you’ve ever wanted a simple dataframe utility in Java without needing full-scale ML libraries. Happy to answer any questions!
