Merry solstice. After about a year, I'm roughly 80% done with the| Biff
An explanation of how I'm using Pathom to keep Yakread's code organized. Also some slight schema modifications.| Biff
I've started open-sourcing Yakread. I'm going to try publishing videos about it along the way. This first video describes Yakread's schema. The production quality here is a little low... next time I'll try disabling dark mode and making the text larger.| Biff
This is a thing (state machine? effects-processing pipeline?) I'm trying out to keep effectful code separate from| Biff
Last time on Biff: The Newsletter:| Biff
I recently finished an experimental migration of the Biff starter app to use XTDB v2 instead of| Biff
The new "indexes" feature makes it easy to denormalize your main XT database so you can query for things faster.| biffweb.com
I've been rewriting my reading app from scratch and open-sourcing it in the progress. I'm using it to experiment with new Biff features.| biffweb.com
I've been re-implementing Yakread with Biff's upcoming indexes feature.| biffweb.com
New articles, a couple releases, the roadmap, and some thoughts on Pathom.| biffweb.com
The more the following points apply to you, the more likely Biff is to be a good fit.| biffweb.com
If you'd like to use Biff but you've decided that you'd prefer to use ClojureScript and React instead of htmx, I've made a demonstration of how to integrate re-frame with Biff.| biffweb.com
I've created an example repo that starts with a fresh Biff project and then modifies it to use Postgres instead of XTDB, for those who would like to use a traditional RDBMS.| biffweb.com
How do we write frameworks that make composition reusable without sacrificing simplicity in the process?| biffweb.com
XTDB, the database that Biff uses by default, is still fairly niche. Why not go with Postgres or Datomic?| biffweb.com
Including htmx by default is one of the main design decisions I've made in Biff. If htmx is a good fit for your project, you might find it has a pretty high bang-for-buck ratio—that's been my experience at least.| biffweb.com
I got a job, set up a new Biff forum, received Clojurists Together funding, got interviewed on the Defn podcast, and did a little coding.| biffweb.com
