In computational biology / biotechnology, LLMs are being trained on biological sequences and can then be used to generate new genes or genetic variants. These genes can be placed into bacteria who are then fed with e.g. sugar to make them produce various valuable molecules from renewable resources instead of from crude oil using conventional chemistry. There is also work on enabling plastic biodegradation this way.

    I'm with you, as a maintainer of some small FOSS projects with very limited time, a lot of these complaints seem entitled and uninformed views by people that don't contribute any code of their own.

    I'm sad that the internet doesn't seem to make a difference between fully vibecoded low effort low quality projects, and experienced developers using GenAI in a very restricted, carefully reviewed way. Even further, some only use it as an additional code review method. If overburdened maintainers use it to get a leg up on delivering features while keeping the quality level up, that should be celebrated and not punished.

    Since OP will want to do a lot of character based operations for the hangman game, she could also consider using Vec<char> as an internal representation everywhere and only converting into String for display purposes.

    I'm the original author of the Rust keepass crate and wanted to prototype whether it would be possible to build a cross-platform password manager using that crate, Tauri, and Vue.js. It turns out, it is!

    I have also come up with a way to compile the keepass crate to WebAssembly, so that I can additionally deploy the app to a web browser without any installation needed. See the architecture page in the docs how that is done.

    The app is now working on 4 / 5 platforms that Tauri supports, with only iOS missing since I don't own an iPhone nor an Apple Developer account.

    The feature set is still pretty barebones, but the hard parts of decrypting databases, listing entries, etc. are all working, so I wanted to share the proof-of-concept to gather feedback and gauge interest in building this out further.

    If are an Android user and you would like help me release OmniKee on Google Play, please PM me an E-mail address associated with your Google account and I can add you to the closed test. I will need 12 testers signed up for a test for 14 days to get the permissions to fully release.
