In RFC : Try-Catch Blocks , someone expressed concern over the discoverability of crates. To improve this situation, I suggested to have a "Crate of the Week" similar to TWIR's "Quote of the Week". To jump-start this, I'm hereby asking you folks for nominations. We seek crates that are useful, unsun…

I'd like to (self-)nominate wonnx ( https://crates.io/crates/wonnx and GitHub - webonnx/wonnx: A GPU-accelerated ONNX inference run-time written 100% in Rust, ready for the web ). The wonnx crate (still in development) aims to provide support for running neural networks (in ONNX format) on top of Web…

Hi, I'd like to nominate Hurl (I'm one of the maintainer). Hurl allows you to test and run HTTP requests with plain text and curl. Hurl is available on Linux, Mac and Windows. We use it intensively to test our Web site and APIs in a CI/CD pipeline. More documentation on https://hurl.dev

I'd like to nominate cargo-release . It has been the biggest single quality of life improvement for maintaining my Rust projects that I can remember. While I love sharing Rust code, open source projects are only a spare-time things for me. 50% of the time when I am publishing I would mess something…

Parallelized AV1 video encoder: [image] av1an Cross-platform command-line AV1 / VP9 / HEVC / H264 encoding framework with per scene quality encoding

I want to self-nominate html5gum . It's a HTML5 tokenizer compliant with the WHATWG HTML spec, meaning that it can parse most real-world, malformed HTML like browsers do. It's stil work-in-progress because I'd like to expand it to become a full parser that understands tag hierarchy, but in its curren…

I'm nominating blake3 : A fast cryptographic hash

Found a nice crate for profanity filtering: rustrict . It's a lot better than censor in terms of false-positive cases (such as glass, bass, pass, assassin, etc). I use this one in my project to check bad words in songs' lyrics.

A co-worker of mine published something I found very nifty today: https://crates.io/crates/document-features It is just a small proc-macro that parses the [features] section of your Cargo.toml and puts that information nicely formatted and with any comment you made attached into your crates documen…

There is now an official Prometheus client crate to expose application metrics in the Open Metrics format. Disclosure: I am not working on the crate myself, but I am a member of the Prometheus team :slightly_smiling_face:

I'd like to self-nominate update-informer.
It's a crate for CLI applications written in Rust to check for updates on Crates.io and GitHub.
