Rust chat client (with GUI) and server on Mac and FreeBSD using WebSockets

I'm learning Rust and put this together from sample code over a few days. Rust is incredibly fun (I normally work with Go and Swift). My goal is to see if I can put the client on a development board running xBSD and use a touchscreen for input. Client https://github.com/zkirill/thor Server https://github.com/zkirill/odin You need Rust 1.7.0 and Cargo 0.9.0 to compile. The package for FreeBSD doesn't currently go that high so you need to use a port (instructions at https://gist.github.com/zkirill/4fb42b4ba4b7cc58c4f0) Packages of…

    Hello HN, I’m one of the creators of ServBay. I built this because I got tired of the cognitive load required just to start coding. On my Mac, it was a fragile mix of Homebrew services and asdf conflicts. On Windows, managing PATH variables and fighting with Docker Desktop's resource usage was equally frustrating. I missed the simplicity of the MAMP/XAMPP era, but I needed to support modern stacks (Go, Rust, Node, etc.). What it is: ServBay is a native local development environment for both macOS and Windows. It is not a wrapper around Docker or VMs. It bundles everything you need into…

    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…
