Show HN: Minimalist library to generate SVG views of scientific data Just wanted to share with HN a simple/minimal open source Python library that generates SVG files visualizing two dimensional data and distributions, in case others find it useful or interesting. I wrote it as a fun project, mostly because I found that the standard libraries in Python generated unnecessarily large SVG files. One nice property is that I can configure the visuals through CSS, which allows me to support dark/light mode browser settings. The graphs are specified as JSON files (the repository includes a few examples). It supports scatterplots, line plots, histograms, and box plots, and I collected examples here: https://ift.tt/yneXcuW... I did this mostly for the graphs in an article in my blog ( https://alejo.ch/3jj ). Would love to hear opinions. :-) https://ift.tt/LVchGUm March 24, 2026 at 12:54AM

Show HN: Threadprocs – executables sharing one address space (0-copy pointers) This project launches multiple independent programs into a single shared virtual address space, while still behaving like separate processes (independent binaries, globals, and lifetimes). When threadprocs share their address space, pointers are valid across them with no code changes for well-behaved Linux binaries. Unlike threads, each threadproc is a standalone and semi-isolated process. Unlike dlopen-based plugin systems, threadprocs run traditional executables with a `main()` function. Unlike POSIX processes, pointers remain valid across threadprocs because they share the same address space. This means that idiomatic pointer-based data structures like `std::string` or `std::unordered_map` can be passed between threadprocs and accessed directly (with the usual data race considerations). This accomplishes a programming model somewhere between pthreads and multi-process shared memory IPC. The implementation...

Show HN: MAGA or Not? Political alignment scores for people and companies I wanted a way for people to support companies and people that align with their political beliefs. Additionally, I think it can serve as a valuable, source-linked public ledger of who said and did what over time, especially as incentives change and people try to rewrite their positions. This is fully AI-coded, researched, and sourced. Additionally, AI helped develop the scoring system. The evidence gathering is done by a number of different agents through OpenRouter that gather and classify source-backed claims. The point of that is not to pretend bias disappears, but to avoid me manually selecting the evidence myself. I intend for it to remain current and grow. The system is close to fully automated, though ongoing evidence collection at scale is still limited mostly by cost. The name is an homage to the early days of Web 1.0 and Hot or Not, which was a main competitor of mine as the creator of FaceTheJury.com, ...

Show HN: Revise – An AI Editor for Documents I started building this 10 months ago, largely using agentic coding tools. I've stayed very involved in the code base and architecture, and have never moved faster in my life as a dev. The word processor engine and rendering layer are all built from scratch - the only 3rd party library I used was the excellent Y.js for the CRDT stack. Would love some feedback! https://revise.io March 22, 2026 at 08:28PM
