In plain words

Askama is a template engine for Rust developers that provides compile-time template checking using a Jinja-like syntax. It converts templates into Rust code during compilation, eliminating runtime overhead and catching template errors before deployment. The tool is designed for developers building Rust applications who need safe, efficient templating with familiar syntax patterns.

    Hey HN, I find myself reaching for tools like it-tools.tech or other random sites every now and then during development or debugging. So, I built a toolkit with a sane and simple CLI interface for most of those tools. For the curious and lazy, at the moment, ut has tools for, - Encoding: base64 (encode, decode), url (encode, decode) - Hashing: md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512 - Data Generation: uuid (v1, v3, v4, v5), token, lorem, random - Text Processing: case (lower, upper, camel, title, constant, header, sentence, snake), pretty-print, diff - Development Tools: calc, json…

  • A static site generator that prettifies the output HTML2024 · github.com · ▲71

    I recently stripped out Django from my personal site and converted it to a static site, using `staticjinja`. I found myself writing a lot of custom code to get my site going because I wanted to use Jinja templating inside Markdown. Once I was done, I decided to strip out `staticjinja` in favour of my own site generator. And so Jinjabread was born!

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
