I released the next minor version of https://kellnr.io which support the display of crates, cached from crates.io, in the UI now. For the first iteration of that feature, they are only shown and searchable in the crate overview and a click forwards to crates.io, as not all meta information is stored in kellnr, for cached crates. That may change in the future, if someone requests it.

Yeah, real world duties have priority over programming rust. Unfortunately.

Happy to hear that it worked!

The Windows linker needs a lib file to link a DLL. See here how it's done https://kellnr.io/blog/cross-plat-native-lib

That's one of the best programming books I've read. How do you like rust so far?

Never heard of them. Kellnr is already three years old. It started when only git was supported as the registry protocol. I later added the sparse (http) registry API. Just a few weeks ago, I removed the old git API, as sparse seems established as the new standard. I never thought about namespacing, as Kellnr is aimed as private hosting for individuals or companies, where name squatting isn't an issue. But theoretically, I could add that.

Cool! What's your impression of typst? Is it ready to replace latex or is it still in its infancy?

How easy is it to create custom widgets with iced.rs? Or does Cosmic provide it's own full widget library?

I started to implement a new feature for https://kellnr.io. Currently, only private crates are displayed in the UI, but the users wished for the possibility to display cached crates from crates.io, as well. Hopefully a new version will be out in the next days, with the new feature.

Done. I'm using KDE since 20 years. Keep up the good work!

I had the same experience. If you can live with a gpl license, maybe https://slint.dev/ is an alternative. I'll wait which UI framework becomes the predominantly one, before I start using rust for gui stuff.

I added stream support to https://github.com/GDATASoftwareAG/vaas but unfortunately didn't find time to work on any other project, as my free time goes into plastering walls in the real world.
