Rust-Lang

Let me introduce felis - https://git.vdx.hu/voidcontext/felis. Felis is a tool that meant to simplify the integration between the kitty terminal and the helix editor.

It all started when it turned out that the PR, that would add a file explorer to helix, is never going to be merged. I needed this functionality, and much more. So I started working on felis. It went through a few iterations, but over the weekend I achieved what I wanted: simple tasks have simple one-liner solutions instead of a bunch of shell scripts.

In this post I am going to show a simple (and maybe naive) way to test a specific scenario that involves async rust, the WebAssembly runtime and a synchronous function that is running the async code using spawn_local.

Ever wanted to synchronize the locked version of flake inputs between different projects / flakes? I have a solution for you! I’ve been working on https://git.vdx.hu/voidcontext/lamina-rs for a while. It doesn’t support every possible flake input, but it is in a good enough spot to share.

Designing good, as in ergonomic, intuitive, but not too verbose set of command line arguments/ options is hard. Geek life is hard!

Another milestone on my self hosting journey: last week I installed WoodpeckerCI to complement my Forgejo intance (a gitea fork). And this week I automatically published my first rust crates to https://crates.io from this CI pipeline.

These past few weeks were very productive.
