Hi everyone!

I started learning Rust a couple days ago and I’m having fun with it. I’m trying to learn both for fun but also I plan on going back to Uni at the end of this year after roughly 5 years out of education.

I’m trying to think of projects I can do down the line to practice and for fun. Something I really want to build is a full stack web app (I have some basic knowledge of front end.)

Since I’m trying to learn rust, I was thinking of using something like Actix to build the server.

As for database stuff, I was thinking of postgres since that seems very in demand rn!

As for front end, I’m torn between using something like React which I’m somewhat familiar with or trying something like Yew to write it all in Rust!

I mostly would like some feedback on my plan (I understand there aren’t many details given, this is mostly an idea a couple months down the line), if i need to change my scope, if theres anything I should change, any resources that might be helpful, or really any advice!

    Feel free to just use React on the frontend if you’re more familiar with it, but make sure you couple it with Redux. Then when the time comes you want to bring some Rust into the frontend, you can do so by writing your Redux reducers in Rust.

    PS.: The blog post mentions using fp-bindgen for WASM bindings, but nowadays you’re probably better off using wasm-bindgen.
