I’m glad you like it! Very curious to know how you use Reveal — do you use it mostly as a repl output with tap> and occasional eval-on-selection? Or maybe you also use built-in visualisations and tools to build ad-hoc UI? Or what?

It’s too early to tell at this point, but I very much like the ease of exploring my data. Just see what’s there. Since a few months, I’m working on a large years-old codebase, so the exploration is great. And definitely also tap> support. I’m not sure yet if I will be using the eval capabilities a lot.

Having multiple ways of visualizing data is definitely very cool; I don’t have an active need as such, but I suspect I have a passive need if you know what I mean 😉

arch on my personal

another Linux for work

I use Arch, what WM do you use?

i3

the problem is the work box where it's more complicated

and I can't really use a nice tiling WM

I use i3 too

(i3-gaps to be precise)

Haven’t tried myself, but it seems you need to have :prepl specified in your shadow cljs config (see https://github.com/thheller/shadow-cljs/issues/508#issuecomment-535866881)

Then you’ll need to use remote-prepl (described here: https://vlaaad.github.io/reveal/#remote-prepl) to connect reveal to shadow-cljs project

Cursive setup is a local repl as described in https://vlaaad.github.io/reveal/#cursive

But in Parameters, instead of -m vlaaad.reveal repl you’ll need something like -m vlaaad.reveal remote-prepl :port your-prepl-port-number

Yup. I have it working (mostly), but the integration seems off. Particularly cursive prepl seems really weird. Not a reveal issue, but this is where I expected to see the most people who may have had similar issues.

Technically it could be reveal’s problem, but I doubt it.

what seems weird?

Cursive won’t do any of the REPL tooling, e.g. when sending a form to the REPL the statement should be evaluated in the context of the namespace of the file.

Also, a bunch of what I presume to be prepl messages end up in the console unparsed

It’s more likely than not Cursive’s issue. I just figured I’d find more people who have tried this setup in here than in the cursive channel.

> Cursive won’t do any of the REPL tooling, e.g. when sending a form to the REPL the statement should be evaluated in the context of the namespace of the file. There is “Switch REPL NS to Current File” command

Right. Separate issue though - typically cursive will bracket calls to the REPL with the current ns and a call to return it to where it was. Part of its nrepl integration.
