Personal website

Some quick history. The original version of this website consisted of a minimal web framework (basically just routing and templating and some middleware) I wrote in Haskell. I wanted to support more dynamic views after a time, so I migrated to this repo and used (clj, cljs) for (backend, frontend) respectively.

I still use clj for the backend, but I couldn't keep up to date enough on cljs practices (and quirks of the compilers) to justify continuing to use cljs. Around 2018 I migrated the frontend to React, where it lives now in ./front.

Developing

Core cycle is:

1. Make changes
2. yarn build
3. yarn run

You might find it useful to run:

docker stop (docker ps -aq); docker rm (docker ps -aq); yarn build && yarn start

Adding a blog post

Add a .md file in /md, add and entry in writing.json, and add the read macro invocation in Blog.tsx`.
