  • that's interesting. What did you use for your web server? I know there's a chapter about it in the book, I haven't got so far yet, was it that one you used?..

  • jelly-actix-web-starter

    Discontinued A starter template for actix-web projects that feels very Django-esque. Avoid the boring stuff and move faster.

  • If you enjoy Python's web story but want something similar-ish in Rust, you can check out my actix boilerplate repo - it "mimics" Django in many ways. If nothing else, might be useful for picking apart.
