#programming idea:
your examples should be part of your automated #testing !

there is nothing more irritating then eg. finding a cool rust crate and not being able to run the examples :blobsad:

...ok, maybe mosquitoes are worse

but other than that!!!! nothing!!!! **literally** nothing!!

@grainloom afaik Rust actually builds and runs the examples when you make it test, I've had to disable a test on something to make Travis pass once

@noiob
I think the example I tried was in the readme?
So, set up git hooks to rebuild the readme when examples change!!!

@grainloom Heh, but real talk, people not testing all their stuff is a problem. Back when I made my Twitter bots use Masto, too, the only Masto crate just simply didn't work, and it took me a while to convince the dev that it wasn't my fault
