  • This has been one of my biggest frustrations while learning Rust. I’m coming from .NET which has an incredible wealth of official System and Microsoft libraries all of which are robust and well documented.

    Rust on the other hand has the bare minimum std library, with everything else implemented by the community. There isn’t even a std async library. It’s insane.

    Even the popular community libraries are severely lacking in documentation or inexplicably unmaintained.

    Rust has a ton of potential but it desperately needs some broad funding to align the fundamentals to a decent standard.







  • The open alternatives don’t have particularly good UIs which was a massive perk of GitKraken.

    These days I rely heavily on the Git UI within jetbrains various IDEs. If you’re working on open source projects then you can get a free license. Or they do educational discounts. If you’re using it commercially then it’s going to be roughly the same price as for Kraken but you get a best in class IDE included…







  • Honestly, it’s not as important. These projects are working with very limited resources, typically dependent on free labour. Accessibility is incredibly hard to get right and half arsing it isn’t going to work. The priority should be pushing out a reliable, working prototype that people want to use. Once that’s accomplished you can refocus on expanding the features.

    Demand for reliable multi monitor support is going to be far higher than screen reading capabilities.
