Looking for Rust Project Ideas for Semester Project - Any Suggestions?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • DummyJSON

    DummyJSON.com provides different types of REST Endpoints filled with JSON data which you can use in developing the frontend with your favorite framework and library without worrying about writing a backend.

  • You should minimise the non-Rust parts though, don't get tied up in anything else or your scope will quickly outgrow a two month deadline. Use something like https://dummyjson.com/ as a foundation to skip the need to find/generate/build database + content, or use a combination of postgres/postgrest to get a quick API + database and use faker to fill it up quickly. That'd allow you to use something like SQLx or https://diesel.rs/ in the application.

  • diesel

    A safe, extensible ORM and Query Builder for Rust

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • iotop

    A top utility for IO

  • Rewrite something like https://linux.die.net/man/1/iotop in Rust. Currently it is implemented in python, and running it as root does not give a warm fuzzy feeling.( I C version has also been made : https://github.com/Tomas-M/iotop but I have not reviewed that )

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
