Show HN: Validatedata – lightweight inline data validation for Python

Hacker News - Fri, 02/27/2026 - 11:14am

I revived a small project I abandoned ~5 years ago and just released v0.2 on PyPI: validatedata.

It's a lightweight Python library for inline data validation—think quick checks on dicts, lists, function args, or API payloads without defining full schema classes like in Pydantic.

Why revive it? I kept running into cases where Pydantic (or Marshmallow) felt like overkill for scripts, CLIs, simple backends, or one-off data cleaning. I wanted something expressive but minimal: inline rules, decorators, no boilerplate models, built-in checks (email/url/phone/regex/range/length/unique/nullable/transforms/conditionals/nested), and clean error output.

Core ways to use it:

1. Standalone on data: ```python from validatedata import validate_data

data = {"username": "alice", "email": "alice@example.com", "age": 25} rules = {"keys": { "username": {"type": "str", "range": (3, 32)}, "email": {"type": "email"}, "age": {"type": "int", "range": (18, "any")} }}

result = validate_data(data, rules) if result.ok: print("Valid!") else: print(result.errors) # e.g. ["age: must be at least 18"]

Features include:

Shorthand rules like 'email', 'int:18:to:99', 'phone' Conditional (depends_on), transforms (strip/upper), mutation for cleaned data Nested fields/items, strict/no-coercion mode Powered by dateutil for flexible date parsing (ISO, natural-ish formats) MIT licensed, pytest on PRs, Python >=3.7, only optional dep (phonenumbers for phone)

Install: pip install validatedata Repo: https://github.com/Edward-K1/validatedata PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/validatedata/ Happy to hear feedback, bug reports, feature ideas, or use-case stories—especially if this saves anyone time on lightweight validation. Does this fill a gap for you, or am I missing something obvious? Thanks!

Show HN: Clappie – Claude Code remote but more fun and useful

Hacker News - Fri, 02/27/2026 - 11:06am

This was my personal agent setup that I am now open-sourcing. The landing page got a little crazy. I am a big fan of Claude Code.

There are many alternatives such as OpenClaw, now an official Claude Code Remote Control, and a bunch of open source mini claw projects.

This is different because it:

- Create/Manage/Access Claude Code "Terminals" sessions remotely

- Is basically just contained to a skill and small setup

It also has really cool features from experimenting:

- "Parties" which is a fun way to have your Claude Code sessions coordinate (swarms you can control)

- On-Demand TUI display engine

- Easy automatic skill builder (OAuth & webhook helper)

- Message from Telegram/Slack directly to Claude Code terminal

- Chores (AI assigns to you, you don't assign to it

Then all the classics:

- heartbeat - memory - background manager / helpers - others

And then most importantly:

- It will add a little ASCII dog to your terminal
