Show HN: SlickFast Deterministic Chart/Dash Renderer, No Browser(JSON → SVG/PNG)https://slickfast.com/SlickFast started 6 months ago, and evolved in a super backwards way. I was using lowfruits to look for good SEO keywords, I wanted to make a simple free tool to rank with SEO. I found some great keywords related to graphs/charts. I did research for optimizing for SEO. Turns out edge processing / using static HTML is super fast and lightweight, great for SEO. I made freepiechartmaker.com. I was really blown away by how fast the site was loading, and how lightweight all the processing was. The site renders changes on the fly, and is much much faster than other sites in the space. I started looking into the tech, pure math rendering, and I saw a lot of openings for what this tech can do. That's how SlickFast was made.SlickFast is a JSON input > pure javascript SVG Native render core > with PNG+SVG output. No headless chrome. No library calls. deterministic output. on my local machine(m1 max) it renders 140,000 svg charts a second. PNG @ ~50/sec at retina (scale-2) and ~145/sec at scale-1Aug 5, 2026 3:01 PM

Show HN: Open-source general-purpose alternative to Exa Websetshttps://github.com/tinyfish-io/bigsetHey Everyone!So I get to spend most of my day tweaking and playing around with really powerful search engines at TinyFish (which is so awesome). I’ve recently been super fascinated by the idea of using a search engine recursively to build datasets.Been playing around with Exa’s WebSets product quite a bit and realized it was mainly focused on prospecting, and it creates datasets with a lot of missing data.So we built a fully open source project, that can build and update datasets on any topic.Datasets I have generated so far, “All products that Starbucks sells on amazon, with their price and if they are in stock”, “All theme parks in California, with ticket prices” , “All YC companies that are currently hiring for eng roles with their hiring page link” Would love for yall’s to try it out, and drop your thoughts, stars and feedback. Thanks!Jun 2, 2026 5:58 PM

Show HN: Monkdev is a toolkit and methodology for coding with LLMshttps://github.com/oeo/monkdevI'm sure many people have some solutions similar to this but I've been using some variation of this since roughly the release of Opus 3 to get higher quality results. Like, significantly higher. So I decided to make it into a more structured package.Problem: bad decisions and short sighted solutions due to the LLM not having enough context before acting. They'd read one file, or a few segments of a set of files using a super conservative offset and limit, guess about the rest, apply a patch, run a unit test and then tell you with its entire chest that the code is production-ready.Those bandaids over time became debt, drift, complexity. Unnecessary LOC in a codebase where I find myself wondering is this thing even making me more efficient or should I be in VIM more often and just save myself the API costs (I use OpenCode + OpenRouter and have been known to blast through hundreds of dollars a day in spend using Frontier models).I found that, for whatever reason, LLMs respond to role-playMay 26, 2026 7:08 PM
