Hah! I was looking for "full stack" or "web" channels in Clojurians and this is cool and opportune. I too wannabe a one-person software product shop. Narrowly, from the Clojure community, Jan Rychter (@jrychter)'s http://partsbox.io is my longstanding inspiration of what a solo indie outfit can look like. Chas Emerick (@cemerick)'s http://snowtide.com is another (though not full stack clj). Likewise @aphyr, @cfleming and others. I see Jacob O'Bryant is here too :spock-hand: (I feel like I'm https://jacobobryant.com/p/post-2020-guide-to-clojure/, and might end up accidentally making a biff-like myself laughcry ). Thanks for starting this channel, @two.stewards!

What a helpful post. Thank you, @U051MHSEK. Yours is another set of feet at which I can sit and learn.

adi13:10:30

I am a novice. So if any feet are involved, it will be in the manner of walking similar paths. 🙇

Excellent

Of course, the goal is to create commercially viable software, which means finding and serving a business need. The tech stack is incidental. I just happen to like Clojure enough to subject myself to the enormous set of moving parts involved in building even a "small" web app, as Sean mentioned https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C05SVE3P116/p1695593936378009?thread_ts=1695591143.640319&cid=C05SVE3P116. Life in the dank devops dungeons was so much safer and controlled, I tell you. Here it is a double-whammy of Clojure(script) things + host runtime things.

> The tech stack is incidental. Of course this is true. And to a greenhorn like me, any tech stack is a climb.

adi13:10:37

Oh believe me, I am climbing too, and it is a struggle. I know some Clojure and have some software experience, but there is a lot of figuring out going on.

Glad to have you here.
