Create a blog with Clojure, nbb, and MarkDoc

This endeavor is my first adventure with Clojure(script). Meaning this is from a Clojure beginner perspective. By Alexander Carls.

For me, scripting is the perfect middle ground when going from small book exercises to more significant projects while learning the language. I’d argue that a static site generation is on the larger side of “scripting”.

The article then explains this plan:

  • Create a minimalistic blogging site to get started blogging about my Clojure journey
  • Write blog posts in Markdown
  • Use functionality from MarkDoc with React
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Create static HTML for each Markdown post
  • Deploy with Netlify
  • Must work without JavaScript on the browser
  • RSS Feed
  • Comments support with GitHub
  • No CI/CD. Given the short scope of the project. Running commands on my local machine is OK
  • No Analytics

You will also find plenty of Clojure code examples. Good read!
