Hi there!We have designed client side encrypted storage that sync on multiple devices and allows to hold that data on your server.We have started as chat application in late 2022 that has completly open-readable database. The idea was simple - server holds zero secrets, like non at all. But we ran into the problem of authentication - there were no auth method what could make quick, synced authorization with completely zero secrets.So in early 2023 we came to an idea of authentication via proof of ownership by providing proof that next step is made by the same user. Now you can see our job as ulda core <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ulda-io&#x2F;ulda-core" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ulda-io&#x2F;ulda-core</a>. Ulda was called as universal liniar data authentication.But a year later we faced that “None need another extremely secure chat application” and we decided to export our ideas and share ulda as a method in order to gather some feedback from some smarter people. In 2025 we tried to publish our white papers at REKS, CMIS and in the end in Journal of Cryptology. Ulda was never published and then we decided that it would probable a good idea to go and publish at least something somewhere to bring some attraction and hopefully some feedback.So, we assembled an sdk, that worked via ulda core and gave developers an ability to work in with encrypted and synced storage directly by editing json. We tried to make is simple as possible.We hope to bring some attention not to a sdk itself, but rather to authentication method itself. You can read our white paper here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ulda-io&#x2F;ulda-core&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;MANIFEST.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ulda-io&#x2F;ulda-core&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;MANIFEST.md</a>Also, if you would like to see our sdk, you can also try it here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.ulda.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.ulda.io</a>, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ulda.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ulda.io</a>.Thank you very much for your time and we hope for your feedback about authentication method.Best regards,

Building textlog without JavaScript

Hi, I am building a js library for grids (and pivot tables) so that coding agents can use our primitives to deliver a grid based on your specifications.I started working on this problem because data displays like grids &#x2F; pivot tables are tricky to get right as more and more features pile up (features like: pagination of data, virtualization, pivots, grouped views, custom renderers, filters, sort, etc)Pre llm and coding agents, I built <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;chartshq&#x2F;muze" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;chartshq&#x2F;muze</a> (that later got acquired by mode analytics) with grammar of graphics for developers. But I have always felt a library built for agents would have a fundamentally different philosophy than the one built for devs.What does an agent first js grid library mean?The library comes up with few primitives and mental models that agents can use reliably (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.superplot.dev&#x2F;grid&#x2F;our-approach&#x2F;#principles&#x2F;table-algebra" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.superplot.dev&#x2F;grid&#x2F;our-approach&#x2F;#principles&#x2F;tabl...</a>) alongside the design and architecture of the grid (open closed system + data flow + relinquishing right control to agents). Thus enforcing enough abstraction for agents that produce fewer bugs in a single shot (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.superplot.dev&#x2F;grid&#x2F;our-approach&#x2F;#principles&#x2F;headless-architecture" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.superplot.dev&#x2F;grid&#x2F;our-approach&#x2F;#principles&#x2F;head...</a>).How is it different from a lib built for devs?Unlike a lib built for devs where the abstaction layer is much closer to humans (config driven like highcharts &#x2F; aggrid), I belive having a different layer of abstraction from carefully defined building blocks and stable contracts help agents build reliable and stable outputs.For majority of the usecases, a user can ask an agent to build a particular representation of the grid (without waiting for the library to support it internally) to their liking. The agent would then go and build the grid with given constructs acting as guardrails. (Ofcourse there is a limit to that, for example if you want to do something which is outside the scope of mental model)What does it support?- Headless grid with virtualization
- Local in browser datasource via duckdbwasm (supports pivot &#x2F; tree &#x2F; grouped data ops)
- External datasource connection via our IR (codegen to db &#x2F; semantic model should be easy given llm like structures)
- Pivot + tree view + grouped data view 
- Table algebra support (that gets translated to IR for external datasource, for which agent can do codegen)
- Pagination &#x2F; data evictions for billions of row handling
- Metadata plumbing (for usecases like complex cells where data needs to be generated from multiple differnet parameters)
- Usage patterns &#x2F; documentations (we are working on this)Some demos: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.superplot.dev&#x2F;grid&#x2F;#demos" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.superplot.dev&#x2F;grid&#x2F;#demos</a>

Turn your regular JavaScript code into a neural net

Hi HN! byteface here. myjs was a recent accident I&#x27;d like to share.Several years ago I began writing DOM API&#x27;s in Python as a curiosity: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;byteface&#x2F;domonic&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;byteface&#x2F;domonic&#x2F;</a>Every now and then I do another pass rolling in more features from the MDN pages. I have lots of unit tests but found that porting real code and libraries was a useful test of the DOM compatibility. But I didn&#x27;t want to pollute the core any further as had already ported d3 and jquery.So I created a new repo called domonic-libs: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;byteface&#x2F;domonic-libs&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;byteface&#x2F;domonic-libs&#x2F;</a>Anyways a couple of days ago while porting some js libraries faithfully to run against dom.py and javascript.py I came across Acorn (a Javascript parser) and coverted it into pure python.Once Acorn.py was producing an AST, I mapped that against domonic&#x27;s Javascript and DOM nodes and to my surprise... actual JS code started executing inside the Python process!Give it a try:pipx install myjsWould love to hear your thoughts, edge cases to test, or feedback!

I first shared Caravan on HN in 2024[0]. At the time, I had built the initial version over the Christmas holidays. You guys seemed to enjoy it.Today, I’ve released another major update after spending the last couple of weeks working on it.[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=42508130">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=42508130</a>

JavaScript powers the web - it's **the** most important programming language you need to know as a web developer.

## Exempel 1

For example, We have an array of different objects that can weigh the same or different and are spaced apart from us.
The customer wants the lightest and closest object.

```js
object.sort((a,b)=>a.weigh - b.weigh)

 const lightest=(object[0].weigh);
 let sortDistance=(object[0].distance); 

 for (let i = 0; i< object.length; i++) { 
 if (lightest === object[i].weigh && sortDistance > object[i].distance){
 sortDistance = object[i].distance;
 sortObject.unshift(object[i]);
 }else{
 sortObject.push(object[i]);
 }
 }
```
