Pre-signed S3 URLs with Clojure and ClojureScript
Dashman uses S3 for storing the encrypted screenshots. They can go directly from the renderer application to S3 and from there to the displayer application as there’s no need for the server application to ever see them. They are end-to-end encrypted anyway. My needs in this regard were a bit unique. I have a server […]

How to work with a private library in ClojureScript
Dashman is composed of many components including three desktop apps written in ClojureScript using Electron that share code through a private library (as in, it’s not open source). To have continuous integration and a set up that is easy to boostrap, that library should be deployed to a private repository. I achieved that using the […]

ClojureScript debouncer
I’m developing Dashman in ClojureScript (and Clojure) and as I was developing the cookie handler I found sites that constantly modify the cookies. As in, many times per second. Obviously I don’t want to encrypt the cookies and send them to the server that often, but even without taking that into account, just storing them to […]

Emacs has a long tradition in the Lisp communities as it’s written, in a big part, in a flavor of Lisp called Emacs Lisp. Because of its history, it handles Lisp code wonderfully, with automatic correct indentation, paraedit, integration with […]

Review of Clojure Exchange 2015 London
I recently attended Clojure Exchange 2015 London, the conference organized by Skills Matter for Clojurians. Like many other attendees I was impressed by the quality of the talks and as a presenter, I was particularly pleased that only a few hours later my presentation, What is a Macro?, was already published, in video form, for everybody […]
