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!

    The biggest thing imo is to have the program do something you want/need, without that motivation becomes difficult and having a problem to solve gives you something to design for. I’ve been working away at my own side project to learn rust for a while building a log search server Crystalline

    I ended up using Poem for the HTTP server, Leptos + Tailwind/DaisyUI for the frontend, and Tantivy for the main data storage
