START HERE. This is the top-level project for lib.rs that connects all the repositories together.

Previously: https://lemmyrs.org/post/175672

I originally had sources and data of the site public, hoping they would be interesting to study, aid in bug reporting, bring contributions, and make site’s algorithms transparent.

Instead, I got knee-jerk reactions about lines of code taken out of context. I got angry dogpiles from the Rust community, including rust-lang org members. I don’t need to endure such mudslinging. Therefore, the sources are no longer available.

As of right now bitcoin crate is not deprecated, instead libs.rs responds with error 502.

    1. Allow opting out of the opinionated parts in a relatively easy way. You can’t force other adults to align with your philosophy here, and trying is just going to cause problems.

    Would a link to crates.io be enough here? When I want objective data, I go to crates.io; when I want curated info about crates or want to find a new crate for some topic I go to lib.rs; when I want hand-written info about crates I go to blessed.rs/crates.

    I personally agree with your point 1. and slightly agree with your point 3.

      Would a link to crates.io be enough here?

      I’d tend to say: probably not. It’s not that people don’t know that crates.io exists, right? So that’s not changing anything.

      or want to find a new crate for some topic I go to lib.rs

      And lib.rs will suppress the visibility of crates it thinks are “bad” and you’d never even know the crate existed to go look at the objective data on crates.io. Or let’s say a result comes up but it’s just an empty page with a link to crates.io: you won’t have enough information to know whether it’s worth going through the trouble of following a link to another site and a lot of people wouldn’t bother.

      So I don’t think that change really solves anything.
