Hippo it's a not-so-useful web app that "translates" IPv6 addresses into a list of words and numbers that are (not so) easier to remember.
This project it's built using React and Rust (compiled to WebAssembly).
Styling is provided by marx
a classless CSS toolkit and TailwindCSS for some small personalization.
NOTE: Words came from word from the heartsucker wordlist".
After playing some time with Rust I was in love, and I thought how cool it would be to use Rust for the front end.
Rust WASM tooling is complete and very easy to use, really beginner friendly.
So I decided to build a simple test web app, to try it and play around with create-react-app
.
If you were looking for a reason why anyone would ever convert an IPv6 to a list of words, then I could not help you... It's a mystery even for me.
Only Rust code has some tests (one end-to-end test) at the moment. I know I'm an horrible human being but this is a simple personal project and I'm very lazy.
On the brighter side all important commands for this project are available through a Makefile.
