i made a gallery generator (written in Rust 🦀) for my photos! it uses Atkinson dithering (optional) for thumbnails and outputs clean static HTML with zero JavaScript.

just released 0.2.0 with some improvements based on early feedback. added CLI commands (init, extract-metadata, generate) to make the workflow smoother.

you can see it in action here.

this is actually my first Rust project that i've shipped and i learned a ton. i got my first issue within 12 hours of releasing. honestly, it was super motivating!

totally open to contributions, suggestions, or critiques. every bit of feedback helps me learn and makes the tool better for everyone.

thank you for the thoughtful feedback! i actually considered this before launching. i do have accounts on both sourcehut and Codeberg, and i'm supportive of diversifying away from centralized platforms.

for this project, i ended up choosing GitHub primarily for the automated binary builds and releases through GitHub Actions. the Pro tier for students gives me generous build minutes, and the Trippy maintainers helped me get the release process set up properly. so for now i'm planning to stay on GitHub, but it's definitely something worth keeping in mind as the project grows.

thanks again for the encouragement!

I'm not into programming so I wasn't aware of this kind of argument and have no idea of all those Pipeline, release, automated binary process... etc ! I'm probably biased by my open source & self-hosted crusade but as long as you are aware of this stuff that's allready a good point :))) (why wouldn't you, you're on lemmy :D) !
