Build Your Own Text Editor
"Are you excited?😄"
"Rust is the bridge between fearless system control and modern application development."
This project isn’t just about building a text editor—it’s a deep dive into full-stack systems programming. You’ll stitch together:
Core Concepts Unlocked​
- Rust’s Memory Safety: Direct file I/O with
std::fs(no segfaults, no leaks) - Cross-Language Pipelines: TypeScript ↔ Rust communication via Tauri’s IPC
- System-Level APIs: Native file dialogs, directory traversal, OS permissions
- State Management: Sync UI with filesystem changes in real time
Why Rust?​
- Concurrency Ready: Future-proof foundation for async file watching
- Zero-Cost Abstractions: Raw performance for file operations
- Portability: Compile to Windows/macOS/Linux with one codebase
Skill Progression​
- Task 1: Rust as backend engine (file I/O)
- Task 2: Rust as system navigator (directory structures)
- Task 3: Rust as creator (file lifecycle management)
"You’re not just coding an editor—you’re architecting a symphony of system resources."
