This looks great! I've been looking for something like this for quite some time now. There were some open source projects with similar goals that never went anywhere. I do have a couple of small Rust services that I'm running on a Digital Ocean node. My current process is cross-compiling them via Docker, copying the binary over, and then manually starting them in a screen or tmux. This is for personal use and doesn't require production level safety so this approach is fine for me. However, it is a hassle. I could run one of the many different docker-based deployment systems out there, but that adds a ton of complexity where I like simplicity.
One thing I'm missing from Hippo is a good example WASM app (preferably in Rust) that showcases a more complex app than Hello World and answers some questions such as:
- How would I add routes? (e.g. which Rust packages are supported)
- How would I access something like SQLite (does that even work?)
- How would I access the filesystem in general
- Is there a way to use HTML templates?
I suppose if I start reading about WASI and WASM more I'd find answers, but a better example app (such as, say, a TodoMVC) would probably be more illuminating.
