octocrab VS libass

I've been contributing to a really helpful Rust crate by @xampprocky called "octocrab". I started using this module first because it's hands-down the best GitHub library in the Rust ecosystem, and I'm doing a lot of automation against GitHub for my day job.

octocrab is a good one and a nice library.

TIL there's a library called 'libass'

Not Rust but libass :D

Dunno ... I'm kinda glad these guys didn't call their SSA/ASS implementation "open"

I see libass gets talked about on Reddit often enough.

libass is similar. For example, in the header:

libass

Using softsub allows you to reduce server usage as you only needs to deploy one video and multiple subtitles, but implementing it is hard: you can use this portable renderer, but just because it compiles to multiple platforms it does mean it run well on those, it might crash in low-end devices (there is even a Crunchyroll episode that loads multiple fonts at the same time, place a lot of texts moving and crash my phone).
