Show HN: Cot: a Rust web framework for lazy developers
n out of frustration - the kind that every Rust developer feels when searching for a batteries-included, Django-like web framework that just handles the basics for you. While Rust is a really mature language, the web ecosystem is still sort of lacking.
Cot was born out of frustration - the kind that every Rust developer feels when searching for a batteries-included, Django-like web framework that just handles the basics for you. And yes, there’s Loco (which, by the way, has started after the idea for Cot was born), which is a great framework, but we’re hoping to eventually deliver better experience for easier development by providing more features, better APIs, and stronger decisions. The ORM is very lacking at the moment and the automatic migration generator only works with a small subset of possible operations, Request Handler API is far from being ergonomic and there’s no automatic OpenAPI docs generation, The admin panel lacks pagination, filtering, or search, and missing support for many data types, There is no support for static file processors (such as SCSS compilers) and the static files framework doesn’t yet handle content hashing, There is no background tasks or scheduling, no web socket, or permission system, Probably much more!
