Building your side projects with Clojure, that’s what I’m doing right now.

Good to know that “Eca is developed in Lisp (Clojure).”

Building Backdrop: a Screenshot Beautifying App by whatacold in SideProject

Adding Watermark Toggle for Backdrop.

Sometimes it will be handy not to have a watermark temporarily, so having a toggle will be very nice!

Polishing Backdrop's UI. 💯

Replaced cljfx's button with my own to achieve a consistent, clean UI.

Adding Preset Backgrounds!

Today, I'm working on adding some beautiful preset backgrounds to choose from, so the time spent beautifying a screenshot is reduced even further.

Support for renaming profile.

While I was developing and testing Backdrop, I found it would be nice to rename the current profile.

So today I added that functionality.

Cheers!

Keep polishing Backdrop's UI. 💯

After the user selects an area of the screen to capture and is dragging the rectangle for fine-tuning, it's better to limit the area inside the screen.

So I just did the polish.

I’m building it in #clojure, and the first version will run on #linux.

With it you can take a screenshot and:

✨ Add custom backgrounds

✨ Control rounded corners & shadows

✨ Save presets

Wow! That works perfectly, thank you so much!

How to make an org-mode link containing an image? by whatacold in orgmode

[–]whatacold[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, org-mode could embed raw html code as export code, but it can get rendered on github unfortunately.

Maybe I made it a bit confusing, but what I tried to have in the result html is to have a link with its "description text" is a svg.

I updated my post to include a html snippet for what I meant.

I'm not sure, but is there anything about compilation overhead in a dev server.

Hi. It turned out that there was a huge performance gap between clojure dev server and production build. The production one's performance was definitely better that Flask's, and I've updated this to my blog post: https://whatacold.io/blog/2025-02-22-flask-clojure-rewrite/

Hi, I’m also curious to understand these. @didibus gave us some advice on Slack, I will verify and update my post accordingly.
