Learn Rust by building a small CLI
Alex
I'm halfway through the Rust book too. Want to build something together?
Sara
Yes. Evenings work best for me. Shall we start with a small project?

When nobody's expecting you, it's easy to skip tonight, then tomorrow. Someone learning alongside you makes it harder to drift, and a lot more fun.
The hard part is finding that person, then keeping it going after the first week. Pairin is built for both.
Say what you want to learn and for how long: a few weeks, 1–3 months or open-ended. Or browse other people's searches and apply.
The first reply opens a chat, so you can see whether it fits. No time slots and no intro calls.
When you're ready, one of you proposes and the other confirms. If it isn't a fit, Not a match ends the chat.
You get a private Workspace with your chat and an optional goal. You two decide how and when to work together.
Once you both say yes, you get a Workspace to keep going in. It's where a good first chat turns into a habit.
Everything you've said so far stays in one place, and you pick up where you left off.
Write down what you're working towards. Either of you can change it.
Once a week, we email to ask whether you worked together. It takes one click, and either answer is fine.
See how long each of you signed up for, so nobody has to guess.

No. There are no time slots and no intro calls. You talk in the app first, then the two of you decide how and when to work together.
It's private to the two of you, with your chat, an optional shared goal, how long you each committed to, and a weekly check-in.
Either of you can choose Not a match, which ends the chat. You can also block or report someone if you need to.
