About Pointercrate
Pointercrate is a GitHub repository containing a Rust rewrite of the backend for pointercrate.com, a Geometry Dash Demonlist site. As of March 2, 2019, it is the official repository for pointercrate's backend. It includes the code for the demonlist and user area pages, but not the home page, API documentation, or demonlist guidelines.
The repository is meant to serve as a framework for building custom pointercrate-like websites. It includes an example binary that shows how to use its library components to create a demonlist site. Setup instructions cover Linux and require a Rust toolchain and a PostgreSQL database. Some SEO metadata in the demonlist pages still hardcodes the pointercrate.com URL, and the maintainers ask anyone using the code as a base to update it.
Key features
- Backend code for demonlist and user area pages, written in Rust
- Example binary showing how to build a demonlist website from library components
- Database migrations for setting up PostgreSQL tables
- Configuration through environment variables read from a .env file
