Wtf does this do

This project is a website that collects and organizes learning resources for people trying to learn the Rust programming language. Instead of hunting across the internet for good books, videos, courses, other repositories, and blog posts about Rust, this site gathers them in one searchable place, built and maintained openly by anyone who wants to contribute. Visitors to the site can search resources with a fuzzy search that tolerates typos, and filter results by category, skill level, or whether something is free. There are curated learning paths that suggest a roadmap for going through resources in a sensible order, pages grouped by category or by tag such as async programming, and individual resource pages that show related material and, for GitHub repositories, their current star count. There are also starter kits meant to help someone get set up on their very first day of learning Rust, and a changelog page showing what has recently been added. The site itself is a web application, and anyone can add a new resource either by editing a JSON file directly and submitting it as a change, or by opening a GitHub issue using a provided template. Running the project locally requires Node.js, installing its dependencies, and starting its development server, after which it can be viewed in a browser on the local machine. The live version of the site is deployed and hosted online for anyone to browse without installing anything. This is aimed at anyone learning or teaching Rust, from complete beginners looking for a starting point to more experienced developers who want to contribute resources they have found useful, and it is licensed under MIT.
