hello.. is anyone around πŸ”

How the situation is good (wherever you are) :)

BLR. Pretty boring.

And sad

I've never seen BLR so empty

yeah. that silkboard junction photo was such a rare one

I can see that junction out my window 🀣🀣

Mentoring the Clojure track on #exercism has been a relief for me recently

Kept my mind off the situation

that's a nice thing to do

do you use org-mode?

Only for basic note taking, no agenda type stuff

Just because the default KBD shortcuts are extremely few and intuitive

compared to other apps where you need to click.

yeah. but org-mode kind of sucks in mobile use case

@thegobinath @jaihindhreddy You may want to check out https://github.com/200ok-ch/organice Extremely usable interface for org-mode on the mobile (or in the browser). Best of all, storage on Dropbox (or google), so mobile note-taking on the go and cleanup/expansions when you are back on your laptop/computer - all sync’ed up.

The only catch is - I can’t create a new file in the web interface. So, I create org files when on my laptop.

I can live with that!

Wow. I never knew org-mode also existed outside of emacs.

There are several non-emacs orgmode clients:

This HN user notes a few: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22789332 I use orgzly on my phone (http://www.orgzly.com/), but my phone use is just to note things that I'd forget on the go. I transcribe anything important by hand to my org files on the PC :-)

But just the opposite on desktop

Absolutely. Never felt the need to note-take on my phone though. I just type stuff down sometimes in Google Keep, then put it back into org from the laptop later.

That shows different possible scenarios.. by which I mean, lot of note-taking can happen just when you wake up, when you are at a cafe, in bathroom etc.,

Same reaction when you said that you never felt the need to note-take on phone πŸ™‚

Nope. I've fooled around making a few toy things with fulcro

Don't use Clj or Cljs in anger.

I hope to, one day

I've been lurking here, and learning Clojure(Script) since 2017

Probably watched 80% of all Clj talks on YouTube

Its a worldwide React party these days πŸ˜„

Yup. It's incredible how we can leverage Google Closure without following all those conventions, and more importantly, not writing JavaScript

yeah.. there is also new entries even now. like, svelte, jamstack etc.,

that's how the js world works anyway

jamstack seems like more of a methodology, or a set of recommendations rather than a concrete thing we can use

yeah. they just put things together

something like compojure, I can say?!

compojure is probably much smaller than jamstack because that's more of a full-stack thing

and compojure is just a routing library (which you can't even use in CLJS AFAIK)

Do you use Clojure at work?

Yeah. It's not a an exact comparison

Probably have to port some codebase to clj if things prove to be good

Nice! Snuck Clojure in through tests huh πŸ™ƒ

"It's just another JAR" πŸ˜‰

Haha.. but once you are in, it's hard to go back. Or somewhere else 😁

And I thought Python was the bees knees when I learned it

The closer I got to Python, the more I learned, the clearer the warts became,

wow, they actually made it an easter egg
