I’m going to add dsync to create-rust-app [1] so users can apply a database-first approach in rust!

I’ve integrated vite with a rust backend[1] and so many people have asked me how I managed to achieve SSR because they equate SSR with render+hydrate but it’s really just classical SSR. I think I can finally make their dreams come true because of this.

In Show HN: Vite-plugin-ssr – Do-one-thing-do-it-well alternative to Next.js / NuxtI switched from CRA to Vite for create-rust-app[1]. If you ever needed to bundle JS/TS in an SSR framework (language agnostic), vite is a great choice :)

In Vite – Next Generation Front End ToolingPersonally I got the sense that the Go community doesn't really care for web apps or anything too close to React, but maybe I'm just not experienced enough yet with Go. Is there something like CreateRustApp but with Go?

In Rust on Nails: A full stack architecture for Rust web applicationsTytytyty!!
I know this is not realistic, but the only thing rust is missing is faster compilation times. To be fair, it’s already super fast.
I was adding a repl[1] to create-react-app[2] (trying to achieve something like RoR’s console) and it took way too long for it to boot simply because the dependencies for something like a full scale web app take long to compile. Even with incremental compilation, that first boot time was too much.

In React v18.0If anyone is interested in trying out actix (or rust in general) for fullstack app development, you can quickly kickstart a project using create-rust-app[1].
