lean-discussion

This is a web application intended to help organize and facilitate discussions or meetings. The spirit for a lean approach to discussions comes from ideas like Lean Coffee ™ created by Jim Benson and Jeremy Lightsmith. While the original intent is to support the kind of discussion described there the implemementation may support other options as well.

A discussion with everyone in the same room could simply be facilitated by using a wall or whiteboard and some sticky notes. But if your participants are distributed, such as in a remote team, a tool can be handy.

Mostly, this is a learning project for me. I wanted to build something potentially useful in order to supplement my learning of Clojure/Clojurescript.

Goals

The initial goal is something usable in-browser only, for a local facilitator to use (possibly projected) for a single discussion. This will be a stepping stone to collaborative features that will allow use for distributed teams.

I intend to add User Story map to use in planning how further features are developed.

Stack

This is a re-frame application and still a very early work in progress although basically usable.

Architecture

Information about architecture and design decisions is kept right in the repository in the form of Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).

You can view the list of ADRs found in the doc/adr directory. These are managed using adr_tools for convenience.

Development Mode

Compile css:

Compile css file once.

lein garden once

Automatically recompile css file on change.

lein garden auto

Run application:

lein clean
lein figwheel dev

Figwheel will automatically push cljs changes to the browser.

Wait a bit, then browse to http://localhost:3449.

Run tests:

lein clean
lein doo phantom test once

The above command assumes that you have phantomjs installed. However, please note that doo can be configured to run cljs.test in many other JS environments (chrome, ie, safari, opera, slimer, node, rhino, or nashorn).

Production Build

lein clean
lein cljsbuild once min
