The developer built a vocabulary learning service using Rust, covering the server, frontend, and a Chrome extension. The project aims to provide a platform for card-based learning with features like AI-powered word enrichment and public collections.
The web application functions as a Progressive Web App (PWA) hosted on Cloudflare Pages. The frontend is built with Leptos, utilizing server-side rendering and hydration, while the backend API is powered by Axum and deployed on Fly.io.
The Chrome extension uses wasm-bindgen to interface with the browser's Tabs API for URL retrieval. Data structures are shared between the server and clients via a common Rust crate, ensuring consistent JSON serialization.
The backend utilizes SQLx for database interactions with PostgreSQL. This allows for compile-time verification of SQL queries against the database schema, reducing runtime errors compared to traditional approaches.
