Following the GitUI 0.28 release I want to especially highlight the progress that is being made to "oxidize" away from its current ties to C and libgit2 - if you wanna support this process find open issues here: https://github.com/gitui-org/gitui/issues/2676 #rustlang #cpp 🦀

GitUI - the ergonomic and fast tui for git - was released in 0.28 today, with a lot of new contributors ❤️, many fixes and new features like pre-push hook support and checking out while having changes: https://github.com/gitui-org/gitui/releases/tag/v0.28.0 #rustlang #git #tui 🦀

We open sourced a little CLI tool that counts all ⭐️ a GitHub org has across all their projects: https://github.com/rustunit/orgstars #rustlang #oss #productivity 🦀

GitUI - the fast terminal based UI for git - is closing in on 21k stars on GitHub: https://github.com/gitui-org/gitui - thanks for everyone out there happily using it. Feel free to reach out and tell us how it is working for you. If you wanna get into #rustlang maybe this is the day? 🦀

ezli.me the fast and free link shortener is now open source: https://github.com/rustunit/ezlime written in #rustlang 🦀

WebGPU is now supported in major browser 🎉

web.dev/blog/webgpu-...

Cloudflares Turnstile reCAPTCHA alternative is now easier than ever to integrate into your axum #rustlang backend for validation: the axum-turnstile crate provides an easy tower middleware to handle the verification: https://crates.io/crates/axum-turnstile #new #releases

If you are a programmer you know this: a simple tool you pay for acts up and you won't take it anymore and you rewrite it yourself, so here we go: ezli.me is a free link shortener written in #rust #blazing fast etc. :D soon open source: https://ezli.me

I had a blast 2 weeks ago at RustLab - talking about ECS and Dependency Injection in #rustlang - https://rustlab.it/talks/entity-component-systems-for-beginners-learning-rust-on-easy-mode - find the slides here:...

All our #Bevy crates have been updated to 0.17: bevy_ios_impact, bevy_ios_iap, bevy_ios_gamecenter, bevy_debug_log and many more... check all 16 out on our GitHub: https://github.com/orgs/rustunit/repositories #rustlang #gamedev @bevy.bsky.social

The Exifactory Demo is officially out. Way fewer bugs thanks to the testers particularly on the #Linux build.

The game is part of Steam Next and the algorithm really matteres for #IndieGameDev so I would recommend checking and playing the demo early this week store.steampowered.com/app/3615720/...
