Top 23 Rust Applications written in Rust Projects

  • tauri

    Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.

    • Project mention: Ask HN: Best stack for building a desktop app? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-01

  • alacritty

    A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.

    • Project mention: Terminal Latency | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-19

    It's opinionated, which comes with upsides and downsides. I won't blame the maintainer to keep things focused, feature creep (even for worthy features) can kill a FOSS project.

    Another example is sixel support, there's a fork where it all works but is not sufficiently "proven" (code quality just as well as sixel being the best fit for the problem)

    It may be annoying but I get the reasoning, and there are other terminals.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • ripgrep

    ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore

    • Project mention: Ask HN: What software sparks joy when using? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-17

    ripgrep - https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep

  • fd

    A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'

    • Project mention: Level Up Your Dev Workflow: Conquer Web Development with a Blazing Fast Neovim Setup (Part 1) | dev.to | 2024-03-16

    ripgrep: A super-fast file searcher. You can install it using your system's package manager (e.g., brew install ripgrep on macOS). fd: Another blazing-fast file finder. Installation instructions can be found here: https://github.com/sharkdp/fd

  • Servo

    Servo, the embeddable, independent, memory-safe, modular, parallel web rendering engine

    • Project mention: Bringing Exchange Support to Thunderbird | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-21

  • exa

    A modern replacement for ‘ls’.

    • Project mention: A ‘Software Developer’ Knows Enough to Deliver Working Software Alone and in Teams | /r/programming | 2023-12-06

    It depends on the scale of the project but man, if you can't build a simple CRUD app in your preferred stack and deploy it in some fashion (even if it's just a binary posted on some website, kinda like Exa) then that's just disappointing...

  • xi-editor

    A modern editor with a backend written in Rust.

    • Project mention: Zed is now open source | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-24

    Was confused until I realised I'd confused Zed, with Xi[1] which is also rust based, and which incidentally has a frontend called "Xim"..

    Also there's a wiki-editor (like Tomboy[2]) called "Zim"[3].

  • coreutils

    Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils

    • Project mention: Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-02

    Not that it should represent the rubicon of when to/not to rewrite code, but when you do, you do trade one set of bugs for a new set of bugs: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues

  • wgpu

    Cross-platform, safe, pure-rust graphics api.

    • Project mention: GPU Compute in the Browser at the Speed of Native: WebGPU Marching Cubes | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-23

    Oh look it's subgroup support landing last week: https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/5301

  • xsv

    A fast CSV command line toolkit written in Rust.

    • Project mention: Show HN: TextQuery – Query and Visualize Your CSV Data in Minutes | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-02

    I realize it's not really that comparable since these tools don't support SQL, but a more fully functioned CLI tool is - https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv

    They are both fairly good

  • tokei

    Count your code, quickly.

    • Project mention: XAMPPRocky/tokei: Count your code, quickly | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-09

  • Bandwhich

    Terminal bandwidth utilization tool

    • Project mention: Bandwhich: A CLI utility for displaying current network utilizations | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-20

  • citybound

    A work-in-progress, open-source, multi-player city simulation game.

  • watchexec

    Executes commands in response to file modifications

    • Project mention: Watchexec | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-24

  • skim

    Fuzzy Finder in rust!

    • Project mention: Bash Menu | /r/archlinux | 2023-05-25

    I really like using something like fuzzy search for menus like these. https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu is pretty cool in that it works both in a terminal, X11 and on Wayland, so if you want to do something graphical later you can easily migrate. There's also fzf and skim, which work similarly but are only for the terminal.

  • fselect

    Find files with SQL-like queries

  • svgbobrus

    Convert your ascii diagram scribbles into happy little SVG

    • Project mention: Pikchr: A PIC-like markup language for diagrams in technical documentation | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-06

    I recently had to draw some diagrams for documenting something. After looking at various Markdown-friendly options I landed on svgbob[1]. I believe it's a superior solution to these kinds of graph drawing tools for Markdown for one specific reason: the code is still readable. When I go to look at a Markdown file I don't always open the output. I will commonly open up a README file in Vim or just cat it to the terminal. In this case diagrams like those in this post is next to useless. I'm not going to read through some complex drawing definitions and try to visualise the results. With svgbob (or Typograms[2] or any of the other similar options) you can still read the Markdown text document and see the diagrams which is great!

    Of course this comes with a tradeoff, drawing the diagrams can be a bit of a pain. But I believe this can be solved by a good Markdown editor or editor plugin. Alternatively a spec like this could be converted into an svgbob-compatible diagram.
