Toying around with the idea of making websites predominantly, after I finish these books. Then if I get comfortable enough, different domains. Replacing ruby on rails for more strenuous use cases.
What would you want to make (or are making)?
To elaborate, I would first want to make my personal website with lisp as a transpiler of html/js. That's the testing grounds. Afterward I would hope that it'd be fun enough to make spin off sites, just to make things. Although I can do these things in the usual vanilla way, it is tiresome to reinvent over and over. It'd be cool to port over common design patterns into my own library which'll be extensible because all of these other "UI libraries" are black boxes (which makes sense, as the primary demographic are those who want to avoid creating new components at all costs).
Also, these popular blog-centric projects just aren't easily extensible i.e. Hugo. It feels rigid. Everyone says lisp is the least rigid thing imaginable, so why not give it a try? I would hope that it's also timeless. Emacs feels timeless, for example.
But yeah, if it feels nice enough then how simple it'd be to move components/patterns around to make some single page domains. Little small things. Little document sites, sharing grounds, quick mockups for whatever project I have.
Making it frictionless to mock up a new site, basically. Haven't the time to look around the libraries available, but I was happy to find there was a js transpiler at least.
It may not be an ideal use case, but it just seems amusing to try
