Show HN: Drop-in cargo replacement for offloading Rust compilation to a remote

As much as I adore working with large Rust codebases, one daily annoyance I have is the local computational load from executing cargo commands. It slows down dev cycles and keep me tethered to the wall.
About 6 months ago, inspired by cargo-remote, I built crunch to solve this.
My goal for the tool is to have dead-simple devex, as similar as cargo as possible. Just replace `cargo` with `crunch`, and the computation happens on a remote server.
A couple of close devs and I have been using it with a shared Hetzner AX102, and are really enjoying the experience of having the equivalent of an M4 Pro available for our Rust workloads!
I know this is a common issue for Rust devs, so figured I'd share.
Feedback welcome. Cheers!
