You might think I’m diving deep into Rust with what I’ve done so far, but that was just the beginning. Trust Francesco.
It’s time for an announcement.
I’ve officially started a new project called:
“Rustcrab, the repository for Rust Developers that isn’t crap”
<a href="https://www.rustcrab.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://www.rustcrab.com/</a>
This project aims to create a free, open-source resource dedicated to the Rust programming language.
I will only share meaningful information about the Rust community, resources, news, projects, dev tools, and as much as possible. The project is 100% open-source and free.
What I’ve Done So Far:
<ul>
<li>
Bought the domain using NameCheap
</li>
<li>
Created a Next.js project and deployed it to Vercel
</li>
<li>
Linked the custom domain to Vercel
</li>
<li>
Created a very minimal page that includes light and dark modes, real-time GitHub stars, and social profiles
</li>
<li>
Integrated Substack email (it might be improved in the future, but for now it works)
</li>
</ul>
Thanks to AI’s support, all this was done in just a few hours. It’s incredible how AI can speed up the process if you know what you’re doing but want it done quickly.
What’s Next:
<ul>
<li>Add more sections</li>
<li>Promote the project</li>
<li>Send email updates</li>
<li>Create some live events about this</li>
</ul>
Why All of This?
Well, because this is basically what I have been doing every day for more than six months: checking @dailydotdev, organizing things, making private lists and notes, and so on. I think it’s time for this project to be more open and accessible to everyone.
I will also create a separate channel on Discord for discussions.
If you are interested in this project, subscribe to the newsletter and star the repo (only two stars now).
I will update you in the next few days.
The project aims to make your life easier if you want to get involved with the Rust community, resources, and updates. Rust is not for everyone, but if you want to make a bet on the future of your tech career, this is a great opportunity to stop making excuses and get started.
Disclaimer
For now, it’s not even worth checking, but I’ve learned that the sooner you launch, the better. Feel free to add issues in the GitHub repository, and I will work on that. I can also do some work live.
Well, that was a long post.
If you reached the end, that already means a lot to me.
Thank you

Rust Developers

A new open-source project called 'Rustcrab' has been launched to serve as a valuable resource for Rust developers. The project includes a minimal website with real-time GitHub stars, light and dark modes, and integration with Substack email. Future plans include adding more sections, promoting the project, email updates, and live events. A separate Discord channel for discussions will also be created. The aim is to make it easier for developers to get involved with the Rust community and stay updated on resources and news.

Big Announcement: New Project

I’m excited to see the final result.

subscribed as fast as light! hope your project succeeds

join squad, questioned if i should add rust to my list again, cloned, star’d and ran locally
suffered permissions issues because stupidity, turned it off and on again
published 5-minute video of the stupidity
congratulations Francesco 🫡

Starred! I see that you mention rspack, i’m evangelizing to use it in our company, the compatibility with webpack plus the amazing speed is a no brainer.
In addittion module federation opens a new world of possibilities for frontend architecture and rspack is fully compatible with the spec.
Hope to learn more about rust!
