Trilystro

Trilystro is an implementation of VuAgain written in ClojureScript and re-frame, created with several goals in mind:

1. It is a testbed for me to play with implementation ideas and styles, exploring and enhancing:

   • Dividing re-frame projects into single-concern libraries
   • Iron - My utility library for re-frame components.
   • Sodium - A wrapper around Semantic UI, to deliver a GUI that is pleasant on both desktop and mobile.
   • re-frame-firebase - a re-frame-friendly wrapper around Google's Firebase DB; using Firebase as the shared backend between an SPA and a Chrome Extension, as well as an interface to Gooogle (and soon Facebook) based authentication.
   • Using augmented state machines to manage app state.
   • Writing Chrome extensions in ClojureScript, using re-frame.
   • Deploying dynamic SPA applications on GitHub.
   • Including Google Ads
   • Etc.

2. Continuing the work I did in the original JavaScript prototype of VuAgain. This is my exploration of ways to curate information for personal use. I hope to continue to expand it and play with new ideas in these directions.

Usage

Trilystro is a tagged note-taking app. It lets your record a note about a URL and mark it with tags. These notes can be private or public to the world.

A copy of Trilystro is usually running at http://trilystro.vuagain.com

Trilysto also includes rudimentary Chrome Extension that:

• Gives direct access to notes associated with the current browser tab
• Enhances Google search results (and, soon, other pages) to hightlight URLs that have notes attached.

Structure

Subdirectories of this hold several independently compiled front-ends and libraries. For now, each is compiled independently and has its own README.md file.

• client - the SPA
• chromex - the chromex
• trilib - common utilities and support

Build/release instructions (interim)

Until we add some more scripting automation, the steps are manual and tedious:

• Ensure that we are not using any -SNAPSHOT dependencies. Check, especially, the three support libraries we are currently using: iron, sodium, and re-frame-firebase. Also look at the three projects in here: client, chromex, and trilib.
• Upgrade version numbers of the three projects to match the release number
• Upgrade version numbers in the two manifest files, in chromex/resources/*/
• Upgrade version number in popup window (in chromex/src/popup/vuagain/chromex/popup)
• Check in all changes, and tag build before building (so it is captured in about info)
• lein install Trilib
• build and release chromex and client, per their instructions
