    A gRPC client from another world (by eliaperantoni)

  • That's ok, it's a little opinionated. The good news is that it's easy to change the style (not the layout) here. You can CTRL+F anything beginning with a # to find the colors and customize them. The colors for the syntax highlighting are here.

  • spyglass

    A personal search engine: Create a searchable library from your personal documents, interests, and more!

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • grpcui

    An interactive web UI for gRPC, along the lines of postman

  • Yeah just wanted to give my honest feedback! I like such a design more https://github.com/fullstorydev/grpcui

  • tonic

    A native gRPC client & server implementation with async/await support.

  • Wasm isn't involved much actually. Basically, the frontend asks the backend to perform a gRPC call on its behalf using Tauri events. They are like named channels on which you can send any serde-compatible value. But the backend is a normal Rust program so there are no constraints there. I use prost-reflect to encode/decode Protobuf messages according to Protobuf descriptors loaded at runtime and make the actual requests using tonic from the tokio ecosystem. prost-reflect is necessary because, normally, tonic expects the Protobuf descriptor to be known at compile time so it can make some code generation behind the scenes.

  • serde

    Serialization framework for Rust
