Rust-y parenting: WebAssembly 1 / 2

This article covers the evolution of LillaOst from an ad-hoc web solution using server side HTML generation into a Single-Page Application a-la React based on WebAssembly. And how the introduction of Yew results in a more scalable and easier to maintain project.

And best of all, you can test it yourself: WebAssembly LillaOst. It's free and private. And perhaps, if you find something weird, add a nice issue, pretty please?.

When our kid was a newborn we realized how useful it was to keep track of feedings and nappy changes in a centralized manner.

This text describes a way of doing exactly that with minimal configuration and avoid bothering your busy build engineers.

This piece covers how to do the packaging manually. cookiecutter would be another option but seems overkill for what I want to do. The only dependency of note is a web-browsable Subversion repository or any index based web server. ...more
