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.

I made a browser extension that automatically applies themes on websites generated with mdBook.
I personally had the frustration that websites generated with [mdBook](https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook) always displayed me the "Navy" theme. But I prefer the "Ayu" theme, therefore I always set the theme to "Ayu". But doing things per hand is not the way we do stuff around here, so I decided to write a small browser extension that applies the themes for me.

Are books underrated as a source for learning?
It's mdBook which is made in Rust and popular with Rust content https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/
- Self-hosted/opensource Help Center / CMS?

mdbook PDF generator with (optionally) no dependencies
I made a PDF generator for mdbook called mdbook-compress.

How to improve documentation / technical writing skills?
This makes me think, maybe I'll start using mdBook. I find it really comfortable to read and it's probably not too complicated to use.

Anyone use Git for writing projects?
I sync Obsidian with Git and use pandoc for book / ebook generation (or Foam with Visual Code might work too).
Scrivener can synchronise with Git too - albeit indirectly (it sync's with a folder & I use a simple script to keep it up to date)
If you need to organise research you can sync Wiki.js with Git.
However, Gitbook or mdBook might be easier to use for a single book project.

Name a program that doesn't get enough love!
+1 for Pandoc. I'll also add mdBook as an alternate for markdown to web version of ebooks (especially for search and themes).

What’s the prettiest yet most lightweight self-hosted wiki service out there?
I also don't mind using a Markdown editor + static site generator like mdBook - BookStack is where I'd have gone if I wanted something else

New Rust course by Android: Comprehensive Rust 🦀
All credit goes to the mdbook people for this! I'm using it to turn Markdown text into HTML, complete with interactive playgrounds and all :-)

Why does Rust Playground not have a dark mode?? Here's me using inspect element to make it dark mode on my own.
Well if it's easy, why don't you do it :-) https://github.com/integer32llc/rust-playground/issues/544

Actix Web v4.0 (Rust)
+1 for Axum. I recently moved [1] the Rust Playground's backend to Axum and have been very happy with it and the team producing it.

How the Rust Playground works?
As other people have mentioned, the Docker image is not created at code submission time. Instead, each of the six images are built each night and uploaded to Docker Hub. During the build, we do some trickery to compile all of the dependencies so that they are ready to go later on. The playground machines try to pull these containers every so often (30 minutes, IIRC).
I was looking into the source code of the rust playground but I'm not sure how it really works, It creates, build and runs a docker container with the code send for each request?

Rust Playground now supports Monaco editor
File an issue here, perhaps?
This PR says it's the first stage of https://github.com/integer32llc/rust-playground/issues/357 where this is discussed.

Is there a sandbox written in rust that I can use as a library?
Eh, but https://github.com/integer32llc/rust-playground uses docker (for isolation?), and that does need to be secure against attacks.
