I kept rewriting the same array.slice(i, i + n) logic in every project. Eventually, I decided to stop and just make a utility.

Chonkify is a small (~870B), zero-dependency JS/TS library for chunking any kind of data:

- Works with Array, String, Buffer, Set, Map, Array-like, TypedArray

- Handles AsyncIterable (great for batching streams)

- Unicode-safe (correctly handles grapheme clusters, emoji, etc.)

- ESM-first, TypeScript-ready

I mostly made it for myself, but figured others m

Hi HN! We've just released an open-source React bundler plugin that makes apps multilingual—at build time, without modifying the code.

React app localization typically requires implementing i18n frameworks, extracting text to JSON files, and wrapping components in translation tags - essentially rewriting your entire codebase before you can even start translating.

Our React bundler plugin eliminates this friction entirely. You add it to an existing React app, specify which languages you w

Hi HN,

I built [PinSend](https://pinsend.app) — a free web app for instantly sharing text between devices, using a simple 6-character PIN.

- No login, no account, no install. - Peer-to-peer WebRTC transfer (no server relay, no cloud). - Cross-platform: works on any modern browser.

I built PinSend for myself while developing web apps—I was always copying ngrok links and sending error logs between my laptop and mobile devices. I wanted a f
