Show HN: SNKV – SQLite's B-tree as a key-value store (C/C++ and Python bindings)
SQLite has six layers: SQL parser → query planner → VDBE → B-tree → pager → OS. (https://sqlite.org/arch.html) For key-value workloads you only need the bottom three.
SNKV cuts the top three layers and talks directly to SQLite's B-tree engine. No SQL strings. No query planner. No VM. Just put/get/delete on the same storage core that powers SQLite.
Python:
pip install snkv
from snkv import KVStore
with KVStore("mydb.db") as db:
db["hello"] = "world"
print(db["hello"]) # b"world"
C/C++ (single-header, drop-in): #define SNKV_IMPLEMENTATION
#include "snkv.h"
KVStore *db;
kvstore_open("mydb.db", &db, KVSTORE_JOURNAL_WAL);
kvstore_put(db, "key", 3, "value", 5);
Benchmarks vs SQLite WITHOUT ROWID (1M records, identical settings): Sequential writes +57%
Random reads +68%
Sequential scan +90%
Random updates +72%
Random deletes +104%
Exists checks +75%
Mixed workload +84%
Bulk insert +10%
Honest tradeoffs:
- LMDB beats it on raw reads (memory-mapped)
- RocksDB beats it on write-heavy workloads (LSM-tree)
- sqlite3 CLI won't open the database (schema layer is bypassed by design)What you get: ACID, WAL concurrency, column families, crash safety — with less overhead for read-heavy KV workloads.

Show HN: acorn – LLM framework for long running agents
Hi HN,
This is Andrei from askmanu and I'm super happy to share a new framework I've been working on: acorn.
It takes all the best parts of DSPy, langchaing, instructor, etc and wraps it in a beautiful and easy to use API. Very easy to define model I/O, branches, define callbacks for every step, etc
See the getting started docs here: https://github.com/askmanu/acorn/blob/main/docs/getting-star...

Show HN: Enseal – Stop pasting secrets into Slack .env sharing from the terminal
We've all done it — "hey can you DM me the staging .env?" Secrets end up in Slack history, email threads, shared notes — all searchable, all persistent. The secure path (1Password, GPG, etc.) always had more friction than the insecure one, so people took the shortcut. enseal makes the secure path faster than the insecure one: # sender $ enseal share .env Share code: 7-guitarist-revenge Expires: 5 minutes or first receive
# recipient $ enseal receive 7-guitarist-revenge ok: 14 secrets written to .env Zero setup, no accounts, no keys needed for basic use. Channels are single-use and time-limited. The relay never sees plaintext (age encryption + SPAKE2 key exchange). For teams that want more: identity mode with public key encryption, process injection (secrets never touch disk), schema validation, at-rest encryption for git, and a self-hostable relay. Written in Rust. MIT licensed. Available via cargo install, prebuilt binaries, or Docker. Looking for feedback on the UX and security model especially. What would make you actually reach for this instead of the Slack DM?
