Btw while I was away from here, I managed to churn out a few videos, + Built my new blog (using #rustlang) + Built a waiting list page for MonitorBolt, a new service I'm working on. (More news regarding that soon)!

If you previously missed the video tutorial on how to build and deploy your own Rust #rustlang #AWS Lambda function, here is the written version of it! Hope it helps! whitesponge.com/blog/how-to-bu…

Spent some time today designing the invite for my baby boy's full month celebration. It's all coming back to me... The lost Photoshop skills 🤣

As mentioned, I have started working on my new service called MonitorBolt - Think of it as my own unique spin on the job monitoring world :D You can now sign up for the waiting list here at monitorbolt.com ! #buildinpublic #rustlang

So the host that I'm using for both my blog and MonitorBolt's email sending feature is down, due to a fire in their data centre 🤣 I might have to explore alternatives now lol #buildinpublic

Since the waiting list is up for MonitorBolt, I spent a day coming up with the tasks that I need to clear in order to be able to get MonitorBolt to launch-ready state! Breaking the tasks down into smaller ones helps, But seems like the list is rather long 🤣 #buildinpublic

I sneakily added a very subtle gradient to the top of the landing page for MonitorBolt, And also some fade + translate animations to it. All done within 10 minutes using just Tailwind + Leptos. Can you tell the difference now? #buildinpublic #rustlang

Btw to do this MonitorBolt animation (or similar) in TailwindCSS + Leptos #rustlang, all you have to do is: (Notice how the main difference between the 2 styles are the position of the element. Useful for translate animations) #buildinpublic

Becoming a dad feels like learning a language like Rust. It's tough at the beginning but it's definitely worth it in the long run #rustlang

Your users don't care what tech stack you're using. They care if your product is slow. And your tech stack can affect that. Your tech stack matters.

PRO tip - If you want to really learn and get better at a language, Create a library for it. I'm building a small crate for Rust and I'm already learning so much new stuff Just do it #rustlang

David Lin (@whitesponge) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Omg I really did it 😱 I published my 1st ever Rust crate to crates io! It's nothing fancy but hey, if you're using Leptos and looking for a simple loader, I got you 😉 Link here 👉 crates.io/crates/spux #rustlang #rust

And for anyone who is interested in the video explanation of the crate, do check out the upcoming announcement video on YouTube, where it will premiere in about 4 hours! youtube.com/watch?v=OKyxiQ… #rustlang #rust
