  23. Harmony

    That's awesome! It's open source though certainly not ready for anything in any capacity, but I know how valuable it can be to be able to read through someone else's code to compare ideas and figure things out, so here it is: https://github.com/adsnaider/Athena.

    If I will find some time to spare will work on xml-mut. A simple XML mutation definition language resembling SQL.

  25. grade_calculator

    Discontinued A simple program for calculating grades for your college courses.

    For anyone interested, here’s the link: https://github.com/TheOGChips/grade_calculator. The intent is to turn your course syllabus into a CSV file, which the program parses, creates an interactive menu, and calculates your grade for the course appropriately; if the syllabus changes during the course, all you’d need to do is change the CSV file. The C++ version on the master branch works as intended, but feel free to check out the rust branch to see my progress.

  26. dipa

    Have you seen https://github.com/chinedufn/dipa or https://docs.rs/serde-diff? I haven’t used either yet but they sound similar.
