Here’s the https://clojurians.slack.com/canvas/C05SVE3P116. It can be opened in a separate window. It’s certainly easier on the eyes that way.
@two.stewards Are you going to invite the logging bots or do you want to keep this "private" to some degree?

The great thing about being full-stack is that when I get bored I can do something else. Tired of futzing with CSS? Maybe I'll be a database analyst for the day
This is a https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUfgKiTI8nE&t=521s by @chris_johnson. I was https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C03RZMDSH/p1694473908839849 to it in #datomic. Even though it’s from Clojure Conj 2018, it’s a nice look inside a full-stack app. Amplify had just been introduced back then. For me, what’s in between the lines is just as important. Chris is a superstar. He’s not shy about saying where his skills are thin. I hope to learn as much as he forgets over a weekend.
:appsync: :amplify:
I'm somewhat familiar with Braintree for payments. I hear a lot of solo/small company developers speak positively about Stripe (but I have no experience with it).
Do you have a sense of what types of payment you want to support? Are you thinking about mobile apps, or just web apps?
I've done subscriptions with stripe. pretty straightforward. no idea about cognito integration though.

This kind of thing gives me authentication nightmares: https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C03S1KBA2/p1694637594335929
So, the core UI of Phase I of my app is a chatbot. @pithyless suggested skipping a custom UI for now, implementing a chatbot API, and using an existing client. I’m game. I’m off shopping for a GraphQL standard and a client to match. Any thoughts would be deeply appreciated.
Skip GraphQL too :thinking_face: Do it without GraphQL if you'll not have more than 1 developer any time soon
Thanks for the feedback. How can I use an existing chatbot client without publishing an interface it understands?
If you really need one API endpoint then do one. But not GraphQL. When you'll have 50 developers then you'll do graphql. You'll hire somebody to do it.
