The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

(Why) is a toy password manager a too complex summer project?
I would say a toy (or personal-use-only) password manager is a relatively simple project. If we are to forget about the GUI parts, you need to determine serialization of your password database (bincode + serde should be enough) and how to encrypt it. For the latter you need only two algorithms: a password hash for deriving encryption key from password and optional salt (the latter is usually randomly generated and stored as a "key file"), and an AEAD algorithm for encrypting and decrypting serialized database. There are certain pitfalls with encryption (e.g. you should not reuse nonce with the same key, especially with modes like GCM) and with properly erasing sensitive data from memory, as well as preventing it from leaking to things like swap, but learning about those is part of the learning experience.

Announcing street-cred 0.1.1 - My first Rust crate
FYI: the rust-crypto crate is unmaintained. Take a look at https://github.com/RustCrypto/AEADs instead
-
Help using ring to decrypt encrypted bytes using AES key (using AEAD).
For AEAD with AES, you may want to use RustCrypto (https://github.com/RustCrypto/AEADs.git) instead

Idiomatically initializing and using a variable with two different types
This is in relation to RustCrypto/AEADs#421 - myself and another user are having the exact same issue.

SafeCloset, a Secret Safe - Why and how I made it in Rust
I choose an AEDS crate from the RustCrypto group: AES-GCM in its SIV variant (the SIV variant isn't really needed but it doesn't cost much).
-
Crate for AES256 - which one to choose? Questions about block cipher modes and AEAD too.
Use RustCrypto's aes with one of its block modes (https://docs.rs/block-modes/latest/block_modes/) or AEAD algorithms (https://github.com/RustCrypto/AEADs). There's a lot of modular stuff in RustCrypto, just need to browse a little 😉.

What encryption crates do you guys recommend, especially one with support for streams
I'd recommend https://github.com/RustCrypto/AEADs. RustCrypto's crates are high quality, widely used and some have even been audited. Unfortunately they don't provide a read/write interface.

When to implement a back end for a web application?
The most helpful "convention" for building a web application is the OWASP CheatSheet Series that focuses on security best practices.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing RustCrypto and CheatSheetSeries you can also consider the following projects:
ring - Safe, fast, small crypto using Rust
WhatWeb - Next generation web scanner
rustls - A modern TLS library in Rust
dirsearch - Web path scanner
sodiumoxide - [DEPRECATED] Sodium Oxide: Fast cryptographic library for Rust (bindings to libsodium)
webpack - A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows for loading parts of the application on demand. Through "loaders", modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.
rust-crypto - A (mostly) pure-Rust implementation of various cryptographic algorithms.
big-list-of-naughty-strings - The Big List of Naughty Strings is a list of strings which have a high probability of causing issues when used as user-input data.
orion - Usable, easy and safe pure-Rust crypto [Moved to: https://github.com/orion-rs/orion]
docker-socket-proxy - Proxy over your Docker socket to restrict which requests it accepts
Ockam - Orchestrate end-to-end encryption, cryptographic identities, mutual authentication, and authorization policies between distributed applications – at massive scale.
django-mfa2 - A Django app that handles MFA, it supports TOTP, U2F, FIDO2 U2F (Webauthn), Email Token and Trusted Devices
