  • Website is hard to navigate

    • That’s great to hear about the rest APIs, I was looking on the website and couldn’t find the documentation about them, I’m guessing it might be harder to find while browsing on…

  • Why not Clojure for the backend?

    From 1 comment
    • Congrats! Any reason you didn't go with clojure/clojurescript for backend also?
