cheats.rs is a single-page reference website for the Rust programming language designed for high information density.
The project addresses the need for a quick lookup and discovery tool for Rust language constructs. It serves three purposes in order of priority: helping developers identify and look up language features they encounter in code, enabling discovery of lesser-known language capabilities, and supporting learning for programmers with prior experience in other languages. The tool presents information in a condensed, reference-style format rather than as a tutorial.
The site is built with Zola, a static site generator written in Rust, and is deployed as a single HTML page. This approach prioritizes fast loading and accessibility. The project welcomes contributions through pull requests on GitHub, and also provides alternative contact methods for feedback. The resource draws from established references including mathematical handbooks, the official Rust Book, and community resources on idiomatic Rust patterns and data layout.
The project maintains an open contribution model with direct pull request acceptance for bug fixes and constructive feedback. Issues and pull requests from the community are actively tracked and acknowledged. The maintainer explicitly welcomes various forms of input, from detailed technical corrections to general frustration, indicating a pragmatic approach to community engagement.
