Welcome Programmers!

programming.dev is a collection of programming communities and other topics relevant to software engineers, hackers, roboticists, hardware and software enthusiasts, and more.

The site is primarily english with some communities in other languages. We are connected to many other sites using the activitypub protocol that you can view posts from in the "all" tab while the "local" tab shows posts on our site.

🔗 Site with links to all relevant programming.dev sites

🟩 Not a fan of the default UI? We have alternate frontends we host that you can view the same content from

ℹ️ We have a wiki site that communities can host documents on

⚖️ All users are expected to follow our Code of Conduct and the other various documents on our legal site

❤️ The site is run by a team of volunteers. If youre interested in donating to help fund things such as server costs you can do so here

💬 We have a microblog site aimed towards programmers available at https://bytes.programming.dev

🛠️ We have a forgejo instance for hosting git repositories relating to our site and the fediverse. If you have a project that relates and follows our Code of Conduct feel free to host it there and if you have ideas for things to improve our sites feel free to create issues in the relevant repositories. To go along with the instance we also have a site for sharing small code snippets that might be too small for their own repository.

🌲 We have a discord server and a matrix space for chatting with other members of the community. These are bridged to each other (so you can interact with people using matrix from discord and vice versa.

If you're writing Advent of Code solutions in Rust, then I've written a crate that can fetch the user input data directly from the main website.

Long story short, you provide it a login token copied from your browser cookies, and it can fetch the input data by year and day. Inputs are cached locally, so it'll only download it once for a given problem. This was heavily inspired by the PyPi advent-of-code-data package.

Unlike other AoC-centric Rust crates, that's all it does. The other crates I've seen all want the code structured in a specific way to add timing benchmarks, unit testing, and other features. I wanted something lightweight where you just call a function to get the input; no more and no less.

To use the crate:

Follow the AoCD instructions to set the AOC_SESSION environment variable.
This key is used for authentication and should not be shared with anyone.

Add the aocfetch crate to your Cargo.toml [dependencies] section:
aocfetch = { git = "https://github.com/ooterness/AdventOfCode.git" }

Import the crate and call aocfetch::get_data(year, day) to fetch your input data.

An example:
use aocfetch;

fn main() {
    let input = aocfetch::get_data(2023, 1).unwrap();
    println!("My input data: {}", input);
    println!("Part 1 solution: 42");    // TODO
    println!("Part 2 solution: 42");    // TODO
}
If this goes well I will submit it to crates.io, but I wanted to open this up for beta-testing first.
