Is rust-lang/rust a safe bet? Four public user comments from Hacker News and GitHub on soundness, cross-compiling and tooling friction, with dates.

Tauri is an open-source framework at tauri-apps/tauri for building desktop and mobile apps by pairing a Rust backend with a web frontend of the developer's choice. The README describes small, fast binaries rendered through the operating system's own webview via WRY, with a built-in bundler, self-updater, system tray, and native notifications, released under Apache-2.0.

Hoppscotch is an open-source API development ecosystem, built in TypeScript and licensed under MIT, that serves as a web-based client for interacting with APIs. It offers PWA, desktop, and CLI options via add-ons, positioning itself as an alternative to commercial tools like Postman. It handles a wide range of protocols including HTTP (supporting all standard and custom methods), WebSocket, Server-Sent Events, Socket.IO, MQTT, and GraphQL. Developers can define requests with various authorization types (Basic, Bearer, OAuth 2.0, OIDC), custom headers, and parameters, and craft request bodies in formats like FormData or JSON. The tool includes features like Pre-Request Scripts and Post-Request Tests using JavaScript, environment variables, and organized collections with nested folders for managing API calls. For collaboration, it supports teams with shared collections, role-based access, and workspaces, along with a proxy mode to address CORS issues or access non-HTTPS endpoints. It also provides cloud sync for data across devices and a customizable UI with theming and keyboard shortcuts.

Caddy's README promises automatic HTTPS, clustering and scale. Four Hacker News users say what held up and what did not.
