What does HackerNews think of create-rust-app?

Set up a modern rust+react web app by running one command.

Language: Rust

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

Wowowowow thanks for your efforts behind this!

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.

I 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 :)

Personally 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?

I’ve been working on an OS project to help people get on this bandwagon: create-rust-app [1]. The folks over at shuttle.rs also wrote a blogpost around a similar topic which was a very interesting read as a rust developer. [2]

Haha love the name. Sad to see it’s not an actual framework. For those looking for something more akin to a framework, try create-rust-app [1]. I plan to add a templating plugin soon!

Tytytyty!!

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.

You’ve mentioned two of my favourite technologies :)

In case you want to try rust and react together:

If 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].
