I'm clicking the sun in the header but it doesn't switch to dark mode :P

But for real, a dark mode would be really nice!

How to build the project locally?

On mobile devices, there is a style issue in the article card element when the title is too long. See the screenshot below.

I saw it on Issue 1 page

Issue 2 will be released end of February 2023. Here is the article list:

• Optimize Rust Binary Search #56 @Folyd
• Stupidly effective ways to optimize Rust compile time #57 @xxchan
• How I Designed the API for Backon, a User-Friendly Retry Crate #67
• Write a SQL Optimizer using Egg #69 @wangrunji0408
• #68 @ZhangHanDong
• Interview with Sunli #65
• Applicative command line parser #64
• #23
• #58 @dmosc

I saw there is chinese content in the blog, but I can't find anything to switch between english and chinese, maybe it would be nice to have something to be able to switch to chinese?

My chinese technical terms are bad, so if there is a way to easily switch between them then once in a while I can switch to chinese and read it to learn those technical terms in chinese.

At Rust magazine, our goal is to provide a platform for the Rust community to share their knowledge, experiences, and insights on using the language. Our magazine will feature articles from experts and enthusiasts on a wide range of topics, including best practices, new features, and real-world examples of Rust in action.

In addition to articles, Rust magazine will also include tutorials, interviews, and other content to help readers stay up-to-date on the latest developments in the Rust world. We will also be highlighting notable projects and communities within the Rust ecosystem.

We are thrilled to be launching Rust magazine and look forward to providing a valuable resource for the Rust community. Whether you are a seasoned Rustacean or just getting started with the language, we hope you will join us on this exciting journey.

I believe it is useful for those who publish and for those who would like to use/cite the contents of the magazine that the type of license the articles are subject to (eg. Creative Commons) is explicated.

I was thinking of "CC BY-SA" to leave freedom for those who use the content to do (almost) what they want with it being an "open" magazine, however, this is just my first thought and I guess it needs to be debated anyway.

I'm subscribed to Rust Magazine via the RSS feed, and I've noticied several posts come across my feed that link back to pages on rustmagazine.org that 404 when I try to load them. For example, if I load https://rustmagazine.org/feed.xml right now, it shows me an entry titled "How I contribute to Rust Compiler" that links to https://rustmagazine.org/i/contribute-to-rustc, which 404s.

Issue 1 will be released with at most 10 articles end of January 2023. Here is the article list:

• Interview with weihanglo #10
• How I Contribute to Rust Compiler #16
• Rust for Linux Brief Introduction #19
• 2022 Review | The adoption of Rust in Business #26

What do you think about having a news section in a sidebar or somewhere else?
We could aggregate news from different sources and put them on the page.

As described in the title, the font weight is too large.

After remove font-weight: 800:

What do you think?

Current search for rust magazine is not very successful. We should improve the SEO stuff of the magazine. A goal could be to show up at the first place in the list of results.

See image above, it currently displays a backtick with bold text, I think we want monofont with gray background instead.

Hi all,

Thanks for creating this amazing website. It is a gold for rustaceans! Love it so much!

To find particular topic of articles, we could add "topics" link at the top of the website.

Also, I found that many articles did not use proper topics or miss some topics. I am willing to help adding them as I can.

Rust Magazine is maintained by Rustaceans from all around the world, currently, we still need Rustaceans to join us as the editor team. If you have interested, don’t hesitate to let us know. Feel free to comment below.

We are supposed to deliver issue monthly, each issue should include at least 10 articles, what an editor's responsibility is:

• Writing articles for the issue if you have an idea
• Review PR from the community to ensure each article is acceptable before the PR gets merged
• Call for articles from the community for each issue

Also, we can learn a lot from TWiR, they have a mature editor team.

Looking at the current page all the images are the same.
Maybe we can get some other pictures from unsplash/gliphy or even use stable diffusion to generate AI driven images from the abstract of an article. What do you think?

Issue 4 will be released in early June 2023. Here is the article list:

• TBD @Folyd
• Interview with jhpratt #104
• A Brief Discussion on Invariants in Rust #115
• TBD @Mossaka
