Sharing Rust Stories
It's not news that Rust Developers love Rust. When the Nigerian Rust community first began, a lot of its early members would share their experiences with the Rust programming language when they joined in. Every experience was captivating and unique.
We started "Rust Stories" to share these experiences. We document the stories of rust developers in the community and post them here for anyone who cares to read.
If you have an interesting story about your rust journey to share, please send an email to rustnigeria@gmail.com

Apps
Zap
Zap is an app launcher with some unique features that makes it quick to access your apps, navigate between windows, and enable you to group apps you frequently use together into load-outs to ease cycling back-and-forth between these apps.
Victor Aremu built it as a more performant upgrade of his earlier version, Switch. He discusses it further here and you can also watch a walkthrough video on how to use Zap here.
