grip VS miniserve

A popular implementation of the idea written in Python:

For creating static web pages I usually use grip [1] to convert markdown. If you’re lazy this even works as a blog. I suppose if you’re even lazier you can just use a GitHub repo directly.

I'm putting together a little package to preview markdown files similarly to how they are rendered on GitHub. Previously I've used grip (and grip-mode), which are awesome, but I wanted a little more room for customization and to avoid hitting the GitHub API on every change.

Any recommendation for grip in Rust? So far I only find this.

If you cannot push markdown notes to a git hosting platform and must have a local markdown previewer, have you tried grip installed via pip?

I use one of these: - Sublime Text Package MarkdownPreview - Command line tool Grip - Browser Markdown editor https://dillinger.io/

Getting "click an .md file and it opens in the browser for viewing" for this Markdown viewer would be awesome: https://github.com/joeyespo/grip

Check out grip: it’s a Markdown previewer that runs in the background, checks for updates, and renders the output to HTML on a locally running server. The nice things is that changes to the Markdown document are updated automatically and immediately.

dufs miniserve

GitHub - svenstaro/miniserve: 🌟 For when you really just want to serve some files over HTTP right now!

And yet C and C++ also have similar functionality. Even if the difference were measured in hundreds of milliseconds, I'd still want to trim down the set of supported formats in my projects and, guess what... the project I most have in mind is an image gallery version of miniserve where I want to statically link everything.

Second this. Both Dufs or Miniserve are good lightweight options.

On a server machine I have Miniserve (a simple service to serve files from a folder over a website) running at 192.168.0.24:50090 or server.local.obfuscated.duckdns.org:50090.

miniserve is an example of an app sort of like that (no SQL, but it'll do file downloads and uploads). I'm currently using it to work on something similar but for quickly throwing up image galleries.

actix-web was the big name in "runs on stable Rust" for a long time and it's what I use, as well as what's used by things like miniserve, paired with Maud.
