avianlink.dev Visit website
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A sans-IO Rust library for end-to-end encrypted text messaging over extremely slow, lossy, or intermittently available packet links.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-29 issue.
For
Rust developers building delay-tolerant messaging
Worth noticing
The core has no socket, clock, thread, or filesystem; callers supply bytes, time, and randomness.

Field notes

Applications pass incoming packets, timestamps, and randomness to a deterministic core, then poll for outgoing packets and events; the core itself owns no socket, clock, thread, or filesystem. The page says CI builds for thumbv7em-none-eabihf and aarch64-apple-ios at every commit. Its simulator claim covers 20 seeds and a case where the link is available 13% of the time at a 64-byte MTU.
