Hi Rustaceans! :crab:

I built skilllite , a lightweight sandbox for running untrusted AI code safely using Rust (namespaces + seccomp).

A Question for the Community:

Here is a puzzle I'm trying to solve: We have 2,000+ clones in 14 days, proving the utility, but only ~48 stars . The conversion rate is surprisingly low.

I suspect my README or onboarding flow might be missing something.
For those of you who maintain popular Rust crates:

  • What usually convinces you to hit the Star button after cloning a repo?
  • Is my value proposition clear enough?
  • Are there any "friction points" in my documentation that stop users from engaging?

I would genuinely appreciate your honest feedback and advice on how to bridge this gap. Every suggestion will be implemented! :hammer_and_wrench:

I’d love a code review . Is my security model solid? Any Rust idioms I missed?
