⟡ clojurescript, om, react
⟡ Eclipse Public License
▐ CircleCI provides a continuous integration and deployment platform. The frontend is an impressive example of a large application built with the immutable data structures of clojurescript.
▐ The frontend integrates with pusher, intercom, d3, and google analytics and has a great example of navigation routing and communication via real-time events, websockets, and backend API
▐ servers. Its test suite is not that extensive but does provide a good example of how to test clojurescript/om apps using karma.
Precursor App (https://github.com/PrecursorApp/precursor)
⟡ clojurescript, om, react
⟡ Eclipse Public License
▐ Precursor is a highly interactive prototyping webapp. Its frontend is built from the ground up with clojurescript. The project has a simple enough routing and event passing system such that
▐ newer clojurescript developers could easily understand how routing in clojurescript applications can work. It is also full of many examples of how to build a component based frontend
▐ architecture that is part of an interactive graphics application i.e. where many components manipulate the HTML5 canvas or work with HTML5 APIs.
The Guardian (https://github.com/guardian/frontend)
⟡ play2, scala, node
⟡ Apache 2.0 License
▐ The guardian is a news site with subscriptions, sign in, search, an admin interface and a series of middleman scala apps that handle communication between the static frontends and backend
