The beatings will continue until morale improves.

I did some analysis on crates.io to find the top name squatters. Then I did some calculations and found that the top name squatter created their crates at a rate of about one ever 30 seconds for a period of a week straight.

I send the analysis to the crates.io team and pointed that they have a no-automation policy.

They told me that it was not sufficient proof that someone was squatting those names. That's my problem with crates.io is that they have a clear policy and they don't enforce it so all the short/easy to remember names for crates are already taken and there is nothing you can do to get it.

Candle just released the Candle Cloud (https://cloud.candle.dev) with a generous free tier. This allows for anyone who knows basic SQL to create a backend api application and host the application on the Internet. This is made possible by our framework Wick (https://github.com/candlecorp/wick)

If anyone has any questions or wants any help getting your own idea deployed, I will be watching here or you can join our Discord (https://discord.gg/candle) and we can help you there.

I can't wait to see what you can build!

Re:Building a request enrichment proxy with Wick and Pangea on Wednesday August 09, 2023 @03:01PM (#37067053)
Hi Everyone

We've been deep-diving into our project, Wick (https://github.com/candlecorp/wick).

The idea? Use Wick to build a low-code request enrichment HTTP proxy, and then harness that same functionality for a CLI app.

For those wary of low-code, we've got you covered. There's a dedicated section showcasing how to employ Rust to craft a WebAssembly component. This ensures you can seamlessly embed any intricate logic into the same workflow.

Keen to hear your thoughts.

Agreed. I read somewhere that if you pick a random direction and fly through space, you have a 0% chance to ever hit anything.

That is how big and empty the universe is.
