A space to recommend, review, and discuss software programs written in Rust. (Not intended for discussion of Rust itself.)

russ - TUI RSS reader written in Rust — Russ describes itself as a "TUI RSS reader with vim-like controls and a local-first, offline-first focus." Accurate and concise! The two most interesting things about russ is that it refreshes feeds only on command (truly offline first) and that its backend uses SQLite. With SQLite as a backend you should be able to query the local database with other software if you want to extract or manipulate feed data. It runs in a terminal, of course. You could...

tiny: terminal IRC client written in Rust — I found tiny when looking for a decent IRC client based in the terminal. Weechat is the usual standard, but I don't like the feature bloat and I don't like complex Python software (too many footguns). Tiny supports retrieving passwords from other applications (like password managers), some advanced IRC features, and presents a simple clean interface. The project is under steady but slow development. For IRC I currently prefer senpai due to its added...

Software written in Rust: ripgrep — I made a space to discuss Rust software projects. Why Rust specifically? Well, first of all because it's a meme, and second of all because well-written Rust provides some security and performance benefits that lead me to prefer many Rust tools over others. A third reason that may resonate with some Gemini users is that many Rust tools seem to be designed with simplicity in mind. Perhaps this is due to how new many of these tools are, so they haven't had time...
