In plain words
Pingoo is a reverse proxy written in Rust that includes a Web Application Firewall (WAF) and bot protection capabilities. It is designed for developers and system administrators who need to secure and manage incoming web traffic. The tool combines routing functionality with security features to filter malicious requests and block unwanted bots, all built on Rust for performance and reliability.

From the sources
Open Source load balancers and reverse proxies are stuck in the past century with a very slow pace of development and most of the important features reserved for "Enterprise Editions" which lead developers to use third-party cloud services, exposing their users' traffic to legal, security and reliability risks. Pingoo is a modern Load Balancer / API Gateway / Reverse Proxy that run on your own servers and already have (or will have soon) all the features you expect from managed services and even more. All of that with a huge boost in performance and security thanks to reduced latency and, of course, Rust ;) # You have a static site in the www folder $ ls www index.html $ docker run --rm -ti…from github.com

IP Guide – Info on IP addresses, Networks, and ASNs2023 · ip.guide · ▲363Hey all, wanted to share my recent weekend hack project. I wanted to improve upon the existing space for looking up information about IP addresses and ASNs. The backend is written in Rust and pulls BGP data every 8 hours from the RIPE RIS project to build up a routing table and also adds geolocation information. The frontend is using React and Tailwind. Would love any feedback or suggestions on what to improve.

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
