I want to pursue this web app project - advice using CL?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/Common_Lisp

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • screenshotbot-oss

    A Screenshot Testing service to tie with your existing Android, iOS and Web screenshot tests

  • I wish I can say I have a library for you to use... I kind of do, but it's not fully extracted out yet into a reubable library: https://github.com/screenshotbot/screenshotbot-oss/tree/main/src/nibble. https://screenshotbot.io uses this extensively.

  • restagraph

    Discontinued App that dynamically generates REST-ish APIs for a Neo4j database, using a schema defined within the database. Now hosted at https://codeberg.org/Equill/restagraph

  • I built Restagraph in CL, and it's an API-only server which supports whatever frontend will use its REST-ish API via HTTP, so... yes, I'd say it's possible to build the backend in CL.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • issr-server

    The universal ISSR server compatible with <your-favorite-programming-language>

  • There is also ISSR (interactive server-side rendering), closer to the "web metal", and Reblocks but it's quite different.

  • htmx

    </> htmx - high power tools for HTML

  • I love the idea of htmx instead of a SPA app.

  • reblocks

    A fork of Weblocks Common Lisp web framework

  • I use this approach in Ultralisp.org. It use my Reblocks framework: https://40ants.com/reblocks

  • radiance

    A Common Lisp web application environment (by Shirakumo)

  • For routing, I accidentally wrote my own. If I were starting from scratch today I'd probably give radiance a try. None of the frameworks available back when I started suited my tastes, but I like what I've seen so far of radiance.

  • cl-beers

    Brewing Beers in Common Lisp and htmx

  • Example with Djula templates: https://github.com/rajasegar/cl-beers (more examples by the same author)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • caveman

    Lightweight web application framework for Common Lisp.
