Whats your favourite open source Rust project that needs more recognition?

I'm not sure if it counts since the author's repo doesn't compile on a current rustc, and the last update was more than a year ago, but there's ReX, a program for typesetting mathematics in pure Rust. grapheia's fork seems more active though, and last time I checked it did compile.

Not sure how you get a raw request to that URL. It's a directory. This weekend I've made the CLI translatable as well. Translations are stored in https://github.com/pop-os/popsicle/tree/master/i18n
