I use it for Wobaka[1]. It's 98% Clojure and ClojureScript with some bash added. I even use it for CSS with a beautiful library called Garden.

Extremely happy going with Clojure!

Nice project! I do wonder though if jsx is the best way to represent elements in code?

Clojure datastructures makes this so much more enjoyable. Everything is just basic lists and maps which makes it very flexible and powerful.

[:ul [:li "task 1"] [:li "task 2"]]

It's weird that it's not more common for making web apps.

AFAIK you should always leave space between floor and walls. As the material may grow/shrink with temperature etc. Very noticable in Sweden.

Good times! I really enjoyed making a 90s version of my startup's landing page: https://90s.wobaka.com/

Emacs + CIDER and paredit. Works great!

Similar story. I'm also running my SaaS on Clojure and maintenance has been a dream compared to other languages. Things rarely break and are easy to upgrade.

Developer experience is fantastic too with HMR, REPL and cljc files. It's fun to write Clojure code :)

Any functionality that is tested :)

I haven't found that to be an issue. For small programs there's also babashka.

Why? Just curious. I've found the JVM to be surprisingly stable and great to work with.

Don't know about your exact environment but I've structured my code so most of it is in .cljc files which can be evaluated in browser and on server. This allows me to evaluate/test/run things easily in the emacs repl.

For view code I think hot reloading has been a great thing with Clojure/Script too. Everything is reloaded properly and the state remains.

Wow, thanks! Recently migrated and seems something went wrong. Fixed now :)!

Clojure is great for writing backends. Checkout Ring and Compojure. Simple libraries for making an API :).

I haven't gotten to that stage yet. But I think it's difficult to hire good devs for all stacks, be it Python, Ruby, JS. Clojure community is super friendly and full of very talented developers and I'd love to pay someone to write Clojure :).

Yes, remote work for sure is an edge when hiring!

Also reminds me of the essay "The Python Paradox" by Paul Graham (http://www.paulgraham.com/pypar.html)

That was my point. You can easily add validation checks to JWT. Just invalidate tokens issued before a certain time.

Yes, but if you want to invalidate say currently logged in users, before the tokens expire.

Not saying you should use JWT, but you can invalidate tokens by adding a timestamp to the payload. This way you could invalidate those issued before a certain time and logout users.

Well done! The site looks great. Will be interesting to follow and see it grow :)

Tables! Those were the days :)

I also had good times with FrontPage.

Thanks :)! I had a blast building this!

Thanks :)!

Thanks for making this. Hope it helps people discover the joy of Clojure :)!

I've built my SaaS in Clojure and ClojureScript and really enjoy working with it every day since 2019!

I've found a compromise to work well. Redirect all visitors from '/' but show all other pages as usual on the marketing site. Also, if someone has navigated to '/' from another page, don't redirect either.

This allows existing users to just enter the domain and get to the app, but also to browse the marketing site if they want.

Thanks :)!

Thanks! I've made a framework in ClojureScript that generates the docs from Clojure maps/JSON. Will try to open source it soon :)!

Thanks! Yes, I use Gravatar with Robohash fallback :)

I'm a solo-entrepreneur and use it myself every day!

Give it a try if you have time, and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions etc :)!

Thanks :)!

Thanks! What do you think would be a fair price for a CRM with email automations etc? I do think Wobaka is competitive in pricing, even for a solo businesses :).

I like Basecamps offering and they've been an inspiration for choosing flat pricing!

Interesting!

I like bcc because it has minimal footprint and you can setup most popular clients to automatically bcc an address if you want all emails to go there. I've just added my bcc mailbox as a contact since I don't want all my email in my CRM :).
