6 sourcesCome build the next full stack web framework for your favorite programming language!

All aspects of project are open to contributors. Beginner friendly. Learn Rust/web tech if you're not familiar with how the sausage is made.
In Ask HN: What open source projects need help?There are about a half dozen "Rails-inspired" Rust frameworks under development. They're probably a little too early to start using in production, and you should stick with Actix/Axum Flask-style frameworks for the time being.
That said, here are a few examples:
- https://loco.rs/
- https://github.com/levkk/rwf
- https://tokio.rs/blog/2024-10-23-announcing-toasty (Tokio is beginning to assemble the pieces: Axum, Toasty, etc.)
In Rewrite it in RailsI just noticed that REST framework returns 501 - Not Implemented [0] if the method is not implemented, which I think is really weird. I think that most frameworks return 405 Method Not Allowed in such cases.
Also, it is typically assumed that 5xx return codes are retryable while 4xx are not. So, I don't think that not implemented method should return 5xx, because it is pointless to retry it.

In Show HN: Rust Web FrameworkIt advertises "Built-in REST framework with JSON serialization" in the readme, that's why I asked.
Looks like it also supports some kind of models for JSON validation [0], it shouldn't be too hard to generate Swagger from them, just like FastAPI generates Swagger from Pydantic models.

In Show HN: Rust Web FrameworkHi everyone,
I've been "funemployed" for a few months and with all that free time and idle hands I wrote a full web framework (think Rails, not Flask) for Rust.
It's boring old MVC, has its own ORM, templates, background jobs, auth, websockets, migrations and more. If you're keen but don't feel like rewriting your app in a different language, Rwf has a WSGI server to run Django (or Flask) inside Rust [1], letting you migrate to Rust at your own pace without disrupting your website.
I think Rust makes a great prototyping and deploy straight to production language. Now it has yet another framework for y'all to play with.
Cheers!
