Quite helpful posts. Try to keep track of them using a RSS reader[1]

pedestal is quite a large project, try to offer a complete solution for building web application in Clojure, from server side to client side, to tooling.

http-kit is a very small and focused library, It just do one thing: talk in HTTP. http-kit need to work together with other libraries like Ring[1] and Compojure[2] to do the server side.

Few good things about http-kit: 1. Very fast and scalable, almost as fast as what you can get from the hardware. 2. Focus, do one thing and do it well, thing about Linux/Unix's philosophy. Personally, I prefer this way of doing software.

Thanks for the kind words.

For the server, https is not planed, since It's better be done by Nginx or something alike [1].

For the client, https is planed. We have use case for it, too. Some time is needed to work on it. It will come out in one or two month, I guess.

I am afraid http-kit is much feature less than SignalR. SignalR provides client side javascript[1], and hubs. http-kit provide non of these. http-kit just provide a way to get a Channel that can be used to push data to client, The Channel can be WebSocket or HTTP (long polling/streaming). IMO, http-kit is more like a unix command line tool, tiny and focus.

Socket.IO[2] is more like SignalR compare to http-kit.

Yes, it's 2.0.0, that's a promise of the API. No API breaks after 2.0.0 get released (It's already released today).

To tell the truth, I, Peter[1], and a few others take more than a month to think and discuss the API, even though there are just few functions to export. We try our best to make it better. In the end, I think, We are quite happy with what we get now: the unified API.

If a very good idea found to do the API, but the API would break, then it's version 3. But version 2 will still be maintained, and any bugs will get fixed. That's the promise.

Is this address your concern?

Good job! Thanks for doing this. Will use it in my next project.

You may find this useful, also in python:

And if you find that useful, here's an extension of that same idea: https://github.com/gvalkov/python-oneliner (I haven't worked on it in months though)

Hi, I am the author of open source rss reader Rssminer, live demo: http://rssminer.net/demo

How about your guy build on top it, I can contribute the whole source code (anyway, it's open source)

The reasons I do so:

1. Rss Reader needs a lot of hardware resources for storing/fetch feeds. A big company have much better resource than I can offer. 2. I can provide some paid support for rssminer's code.

The reasons why it may be helpful for you guys:

1. Rssminer is fully working, you can save a lot of time, faster product 2. The code is very clean. https://github.com/shenfeng/rssminer 3. The code is very fast. In order for it to be fast, I even write an event driven http clent and server: https://github.com/http-kit/http-kit

Hi, Rssminer is a personal weekend project, it's open source [1]

I create it because I want to learn how to do one page webapp with Backbone.js, but at the last, I drop backbone, life become much easier.

When writing it, I need an async HTTP Server and Client, so I write one myself, called http-kit[2], it seems that it's more popular than Rssminer.

Rssminer is not feature complete as other ones, It has:

1. Import subscription list from Google Reader 2. Feed reading 3. Keyboard support 4. Fast (the landing page is not very fast, though) 5. Run it yourself, the readme on github has detailed procedure about how to run it locally.

Bug report or pull request are welcome. Let's build a Rss reader we like.

Of course rssminer[1], since I write it. It's open source, you can contribute too: https://github.com/shenfeng/rssminer
