Show HN: See – searchable JSON compression, smaller than ZSTD (on our data)

https://github.com/kodomonocch1/see_proto
1•Tetsuro•1h ago
I built SEE (Semantic Entropy Encoding): a page-level JSON/NDJSON format that stays searchable while compressed (exists/pos/eq-style probes), using Bloom+skip + structure-aware encoding.

On our GitHub events dataset, SEE ended up smaller than Zstd-19 while still supporting random access queries: - combined: 40.4MB vs Zstd 71.8MB (raw 524.1MB) → 7.7% of raw - str: 9.1MB vs Zstd 9.5MB - int: 31.3MB vs Zstd 62.3MB Lookup microbench (one column): p50 ~0.085ms.

Repo + release assets are here: https://github.com/kodomonocch1/see_proto

NDA eval request (optional): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScV2Ti592K3Za2r_WLU...

Happy to answer questions about the design trade-offs and where this beats “Zstd + separate index”.

Repro / proof pointers:

1) Demo pack (10-min): prints ratio/skip/bloom + lookup p50/p95/p99. 2) DD pack: strict decode mismatch checks across 3 datasets (mismatch==0) + run_metrics.json / SUMMARY.md.

If you want, I can share which query shapes we optimize for (exists/pos/eq) and why the “searchable-in-format” approach avoids the usual index consistency tax.
