rust rewrite

[qknight]

i consider a rust rewrite because:

• the rust workflow is better: go language feels too limited, the compiling process like a patchwork, standard project structure freaks me out
• rust makes WASM possible and has leptosUIs

requirements

this is mainly a rewrite of

• https://lastlog.de/blog

i want to use these components for

• tour_of_nix (specialized teaching module)
• labsystem (generalized teaching module)
• nixcloud remote editor
• nixcloud.io webpage

for now this rust rewrite mainly focuses on the lastlog.de/blog module

ux

pankat main mission is a static page generator but with highly interactive elements:

• using websocket with live editing updates/rebuilds
• permission schema with login

backend

• REST intgerface concept
  • REST interface with login prototype (https://github.com/diesel-rs/diesel)
  • JWT_SECRET from ENV or config file
  • default admin user in config file
  • auth via rest/token (https://codeberg.org/fairsync/fairsync/src/branch/main/service/src/main.rs)
  • https://codeberg.org/fairsync/fairsync/src/commit/afab4f9ae4265dbc6a28faa42bda1cb35668ccf5/service/src/main.rs#L246
• execute pandoc from shell
• replace diffDOM.js by rust implementation
  • client side prototype working, it is fast! sauron: https://docs.rs/sauron/latest/sauron/dom/index.html
• pankat in rust rewrite
  • command line interface
  • config file support
  • article logic
    • article finder
    • fs-change finder
    • plugins decode support
      • add a new [[!link foo/bar/example.mdwn]] plugin which checks existence and draft status
    • database support
      • sqlite abstraction (convert GORM to DIESEL logic)
      • relational support for tags
      • relational support for series
      • next/previous in article / series
      • garbage collection in $output of unreferences files with scan+fs-notify
  • https://github.com/notify-rs/notify/tree/main/examples prototype integration
  • rendering
    • tempaltes support using https://docs.rs/handlebars/latest/handlebars/
    • markdown to html pandoc conversion
    • article rendering using the two templates
    • article navigation i.e. next/previous link
    • article series i.e. next/prevous link
    • tidy html output (https://chatgpt.com/share/679f7102-fc84-800c-bddc-2db88661f337)
  • README.md documentation
  • static blog generator command line option: --build-only
  • in leptos rewrite
    • timeline (from go)
    • /api/ws-draft with websocket (leptos)
    • /api/ws-specialpage with websocket (leptos)
  • deployment flake (with nginx)

frontend

• https://leptos.dev/

editor

• https://rustpad.io (uses https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor/)
  • it builds on top of https://github.com/spebern/operational-transform-rs which means FS writes from normal editors don't work anymore (maybe i can write a FS-watcher which creates a bunch of transformations so that it wraps an override of a file into a 'huge' update of the document state)
  • use rustpad textarea (react) in none react app (so only as component)
  • https://github.com/siku2/rust-monaco
