Whenever I skill up on a dev environment, I tend to reach for either a gamedev project or an RSS feed poller. Well, I'm back on the latter bullshit again, this time in Rust

github.com/lmorchard/feedspool

It's not great code yet, but I'm trying to fumble toward idioms and eventually have it look like the right thing. Pretty nice to build a standalone static binary that works on Windows and a Raspberry Pi without having to install a whole ecosystem of crud ahead of time (cough like node.js)

@rafial Yeah, I spent a few hours with Go but kept bouncing off. Rust seems in a very similar niche. I managed to cobble together some Github Action automation from copypasta that builds a binary that runs on Win, Mac, Ubuntu, Raspi, and Android
