Interesting! You could follow me on Github to get notified when the repo is made public. Other than that I will probably do a Show HN and post it to Reddit as well.

It will mostly be a straight port as I think that is the optimal way to rewrite a codebase from one language to another. First step is to do an almost line by line copy paste from Go to Rust and then port the test suite and get that passing. At this point I would do a major refactoring where I can rely on the test suite to make sure I don't break anything and ensure the codebase is idiomatic Rust. Once that is done we can start extending the project with additional features.

Live replication from S3 sounds cool so please open a more detailed GH issue to describe the use-case for it once the repo is public!

Yeah, I haven't looked too deeply into LiteFS yet. I need the replication to work well with SQLCipher and the ability for the Covert server to completely control the master encryption key without passing it over any network or language barrier (this means I would have needed a Rust rewrite of Litestream even if it still supported streaming replication). Thanks a lot for releasing Litestream to the public. I have learned a ton about SQLite from reading the codebase!

Not halted by any means. It currently relies on Litestream to do streaming replication, but unfortunately the author of Litestream removed streaming replication. I have been working on a Rust rewrite of Litestream which will be ready within a few weeks and will be incorporated into Covert. My focus on the Litestream rewrite is the reason there hasn't been any commits directly to the Covert repo the last months.

Looks good! How does Slip compare to educative.io?

This looks great! Looking forward to try it out in my next Python project

Thanks for your feedback. Text and diagrams are certainly on the roadmap.

There is certainly some features missing before it can be a production ready classroom tool with 25+ students, in particular having different roles and policies for the participants. Luckily that is something that I am going to focus on implementing next.

That is definitely one of the most important features on the roadmap. It is indeed quite difficult to draw with a mouse.

Thanks!

I am definitely going to work hard on this project. I would love to hear more about what usecases you think might be missing, dont hesitate to add feature requests as issues in the repository on github when you think of something else.

I forgot to update the demo :) Now it works
