  • miniserve

    🌟 For when you really just want to serve some files over HTTP right now!

  • actix-web was the big name in "runs on stable Rust" for a long time and it's what I use, as well as what's used by things like miniserve, paired with Maud.

  • Flarum

    Simple forum software for building great communities.
