Rust developers waste time manually discovering available features in crate dependencies
Rust developers adding dependencies to Cargo.toml must manually read source code or documentation to discover what optional features are available in a crate, creating friction in the development workflow. Current IDE tooling like Dependi provides version suggestions but completely lacks feature discovery, forcing developers to context-switch away from their editor to research dependencies.
