Hacker News Reader

I'm spending a lot of time in Rust but I always learn so much new when reading your articles. Particularly, how do you manage find all these interesting crates that you're using. Like arc-swap, or Moka, or color-eyre. Do you actively search for these things or do you have a habit of reading the what's new crates.io feed in the morning with a cup of coffee?

Not the OP, but the r/rust subreddit is my other lurking spot besides HN. (And I’m also currently working on a site to document some of these useful crates)

/r/rust is a great place for that, I also occasionally click through most of the https://lib.rs/ categories, just to see what the names I don't recognize are about.

My twitter timeline also has tons of neat little crates pop up every month, and I have to thank my colleagues at Netlify (back when they were doing Rust) and now at fly, for showing me some of those I showcase in the article.

Is Netlify not doing rust now? What’s the story there?

It happened after I left, I don't think it's my story to tell (and I think they have higher priorities than telling that story).

Yeah, I’ve found the r/rust community very welcoming. The rust folks on stackoverflow much less so.
