[ANN] Nightlight 1.3.0: Total Rewrite (of the frontend)

[Zach Oakes]

TL;DR: Nightlight, and embedded Clojure editor, just got a makeover: https://sekao.net/nightlight/

Well, it had to happen at some point. The original version of Nightlight I wrote a few months ago was cobbled together with bootstrap, jQuery, and regrets. I knew about React, but I was but a simple farmer tending to my parenthesis, and wasn’t sure how to use it.

I finally found the time to learn and over a few days I rewrote the front end with Reagent and the Material UI library. In addition to just looking better (subjectively), it’ll be much nicer to maintain. Here’s the obligatory before and after shots.

Oh, and I will be giving a talk about Nightlight at ClojureD in February!
