i used actix-web. i also tried rocket for a few projects, but it’s too difficult to get/set headers on it, whereas on actix it’s just an option on HttpResponse builder
for the frontend (which i have not started work on yet), i’m probably going to use yew, along with yew-router.
awesome - i had a similar experience with rocket. i’ll try actix-web. i still have a lot to learn about what typical rust apps look like though - it’s definitely not javascript :P
