Michel de Graaf 1b898adeeb docs: stop pinning a library version the instructions cannot keep current
Four places told people to write `soulseek-rs-lib = "8"` (RELEASE.md said "6"),
and every one of them had been left behind by ten majors or more. The failure is
silent rather than loud: 6.x and 8.0.0 are both real published versions, so cargo
resolves the snippet happily and hands over a library from August instead of
refusing it, and one of the four is soulseek-rs-lib's own README, which is the
page crates.io renders.

`cargo add` writes whatever version is current at the time it runs, so there is
no longer a number in the docs to go stale. The manifest pin in
soulseek-rs/Cargo.toml stays as it is — release-plz owns that one and keeps it
in step with the release.

website

The soulseek-rs project site. Vite + React + TypeScript + Tailwind v4, deployed to GitHub Pages by .github/workflows/pages.yml.

bun install
bun run dev        # http://localhost:5173/soulseek-rs/
bun run build      # client build, SSR build, then prerender
bun run typecheck
bun run lint

How the static site is produced

bun run build runs three steps:

  1. vite build — the client bundle, plus dist/index.html as the template.
  2. vite build --ssr src/entry-server.tsx — the same app compiled for Node.
  3. bun scripts/prerender.ts — renders every route in src/lib/routes.ts to its own file (dist/install/index.html, and so on) with that route's title and description substituted in, plus a 404.html.

Without step 3 GitHub Pages has no file at /install and answers a direct link with a 404. With it, every URL returns 200 with fully rendered markup, and the client hydrates that markup rather than replacing it.

Adding a page means: a component in src/pages/, a <Route> in src/App.tsx, and an entry in src/lib/routes.ts. The last one is what the prerenderer walks.

Design system

Tokens live in src/index.css, ported from the Claude Design project's tokens/colors.css. They are the same values that back the TUI in soulseek-rs/src/ui/styles.rs — change one, change both.

Dark is the native theme; light re-cuts the semantic hues roughly 10% darker, because phosphor and tape are legible on vinyl but wash out on manila. Theme selection is [data-theme] on <html>, defaulting to the OS setting, with an inline script in index.html applying it before first paint so the page never flashes the wrong background.

Notes

  • base in vite.config.ts is /soulseek-rs/ because this is a project site. Pointing a custom domain at it means setting that to / (the router reads import.meta.env.BASE_URL, so it follows automatically).
  • Copy in src/pages/ follows the project's tone of voice: plainspoken, precise, honest about limits first. No copyrighted artist or album names anywhere, including the TUI demo data in src/components/tui/data.ts.
