What about writing on a phone? I've been taking a lot of mobile notes and have found it to be a very convenient optimal point between slower, intentional writing vs digital format and accessibility.

From a quick glance it looks like its architected the same as Light Table (Local node server that accesses the file system and a decoupled UI that connects over http and uses WebKit). If it works like that it could run in the browser. Not so easily from anywhere though

I agree with a lot of your conclusions, but I think there is a lot of value to be found from nerdtree if you use it correctly.

I'm a super heavy Command-T user as well, but when you are working on a sufficiently large project there is just a lot of value you can gain from being able to see the file tree.

Nerdtree is also my favorite way to rename/move/copy files

Clojure is most definitely a Lisp. The biggest difference from more traditional lisps is that it has literals for a wider variety of data structure types. Apart from that, it has every single characteristic that defines a lisp.

After proper Scheme training (CS61A) Clojure looks awkward and messy but very useful, as it supposed to be due to its "productivity beats clarity/conciseness" philosophy of scripting languages, such as Ruby.

As someone with "proper Scheme training" (CS61A), I've found that Clojure is actually much more clear than Scheme in most cases. The code is less beautiful from a purely visual perspective because there is more syntax, but a lot of complexity gets removed when you add literals for sets, vectors, and maps.

The most barebones version is very simple: lein has a plugin called lein-cljsbuild. In your project.clj there is a way to specify the directories this program needs to watch for file changes. lein cljsbuild has an option "auto" which activates the directory watcher and automatically recompiles the cljs files when one of them changes.

This long-running program keeps the same jvm running for all the compiles, and lets you iterate more quickly.

I'm working on a clojurescript project right now that compiles to 80K lines of javascript (using the most basic compilation level during development). In my actual workflow I've found that the compilation takes under 250ms each time. I have it auto-compiling every time I save the file using the lein cljsbuild plugin and it's near instant as far as I'm concerned.

The first thing to do is actually validate that people need your product. If you can't win in the short term then there won't be a long term.

We also support hooking into your address book on your Mac, and are working on integrating your online email address book and ActiveDirectory into it. We're trying to cover every single contact mechanism out there so you don't have to worry about "finding the right tool" to send a file to someone -- we hope to make SendRail work for every single use case you encounter.
