Penpot is an open source design and prototyping platform built in Clojure
3 projects | /r/Clojure | 6 Feb 2021

I have a few questions about the tech stack and the project. Well, actually a lot of them :) General questions: 1. does this project have the same scope as something like Figma? Or maybe Webflow? 2. how much code Clojure code are you able to reuse on the ClojureScript frontend? I'm curious because I'm sold on using Clojure for a complex backend like this, but I'm still skeptical on using ClojureScript on the frontend. Does ClojureScript really provide a solid advantage over Typescript? Regarding the frontend: 1. I have never used beicon. Is it a 1:1 RxJS wrapper? Are there any significant differences with RxJS? 2. Is rumext a React wrapper? Why did you pick that over Reagent, Rum, etc? How does it compare with other React wrappers? 3. Is the combination rumext + beicon something akin to re-frame? Did you consider re-frame? I'm asking because I've used it and really liked it, but mine was just a small project.

Rama is a testament to the power of Clojure

This is how I see things also. Clojure is extremely practical and naturally attracts people that want to ship products.
The "Figma OSS Alternative" post that's also on the HN homepage right now doesn't mention Clojure anywhere (no comments about it either!), but Penpot is clearly also yet another app successfully shipped using Clojure: https://github.com/penpot/penpot
Penpot 2.0 Released

Really neat. I was mainly curious to know when they are planning to release the self hosted docker versions of Penpot 2.0. Looks like its coming in the next couple days hopefully [1].

A colleague had a quick presentation on Penpot[1] a few weeks back. Was a real contender I think.

Now is as great a time as any to signal boost Penpot: https://penpot.app/
Open technology always wins, and it's only a matter of time until Adobe-Figma fades out of relevance.
