Anyone looking for a fun small rust project? Create a crate for cleaning urls, based on the ClearUrls project (lemmy.ml)

This would entail:

  • Pulling in the ClearUrls rules as a git submodule.
  • Reading / transforming the json there into Rust structs.
  • Creating a Rust crate that runs a .clean(input_url) -> String

Looks trivial and easy to automate.
I possibly would have done it if they had a test suite.
But unless I didn't look hard enough, they have no tests at all (other than linting)!

Yep, it'd be a pretty small library. I'm not sure if they generate those JSON rules from somewhere else, but either way they could be converted to defined rust objects as part of a build process.
