My new side-project called Rapinsel

A new side-project

I like building stuff and never finish it: yeah I know I’m that kind of dude… I imagine that is the same for a lot of developers out there but here I am again: announcing my new idea.

About 6 months ago I made a starter project called “Golang Angular Starter”, you can find it here: https://github.com/oluijks/golang-starter and I had a ton of fun making it. Go is a cool language that you can pretty quickly learn and make nice things with it.

My new idea is about the same like the Golang starter but with a different tech stack: Rust for the backend (REST Api: Rapinsel) and SvelteKit for the frontend (Spleen). Perhaps you already guessed it: it’s another writing app. But more on that later.

I’ve been planning to learn Rust for a long time and this project is a nice motivation to actually make my hands dirty, the same goes for Svelte. I’ve been playing with SvelteKit for a few months now and I feel confidant I can make something cool with this awesome framework. I will also use Postgres to store the data using Docker.

I’ll make an seperate blog section where you can read all about the progress and I will take you with me on this little journey.

So far there are 6 posts about it:

6) And the data was fetched with sqlx

5) For the law was given by Make

4) To bear witness of the Test

3) Let there be dependencies

2) There was Rust
