Description

This is a small application that will run in the background and stores all the keystrokes events in a database.

Consumer repository: https://github.com/krshrimali/keystroke-consumer-rs

Plan

1. Figure out:
   • How to capture key stroke events.
   • What kind of key stroke events are there?
   • Which ones to store?
2. Print the key stroke events.
3. Store the key stroke events in a text file.
4. Run the application in the background
5. Integrate postgres DB in Rust
6. Write to the DB:
   • batch / single?
   • when to write?
     • every time a keystroke event is pressed (definite no)
     • frequency dependent on number of keystrokes or time elapsed? (siding towards number of keystrokes available)

North Pole

• Benchmark DB calls + DB memory usage based on different windows/styles/optimizations

Motivation

The goal is to just explore the DB side in Rust, and try optimizing myself.
