This is a prototype of a service to allow people to eat with people nearby, steared by a map-view. It is designed to be integrated in the flow of social-media apps as well as being used as an independant web-site or in other contexts for different purposes (read: it is very modular due to a functional design with Clojure and Pedestal in particular). The prototype is still simple and not yet ready for any end-users.

WeFeedUs is the bootstrapping application of a general open-source and open-data community around open web-development. We are trying to build a community around open-source to finally open up data (after all, data is more important than the code that runs on it) and allow to cooperatively compute on it with distributed applications like this. The general purpose is to make people literate in programming by allowing them to tap their own data. While this service currently uses Datomic in its free-as-in-beer version, work is done towards a free software, distributed version control system for data on the web with geschichte. Due to the "high-level", functional design of Datomic, it should be fairly easy to replace it once the application data stabilizes.

Application data will be released under an open license and development will be aligned around strong copyleft products. If you are interested, ping me.

The server side part can be found here.

Start working on this application by inspecting its behavior in the file app/src/wefeedus_client/behavior.clj

cd into any directory and execute the following:

lein repl

The io.pedestal.app-tools.dev namespace is loaded by default. It contains several useful functions. To see a list of some of these functions, type:

(tools-help)

To begin working on an application, execute:

(start)

and then visit http://localhost:3000.

Alternatively, start the app server from the command line: lein run.

During development of an application, sources will be compiled on-demand. Sources include everything located in the app directory. All compiled output goes to out/public. The contents of out/public are transient and the out directory can be deleted at any time to trigger a complete re-build.

The contents of out/public are the deployment artifacts for this project.

If you would like to serve the contents of out/public from another server and not run the development server. Run:

(watch :development)

from the application project to automatically build the :development environment when sources change.
