No Strings Mobile App Dev for Clojure
summary
Builds real iOS/Android apps by compiling ClojureScript to run inside Appcelerator Titanium’s embedded JavaScript interpreter, with a REPL and live reload via WebSocket for fast edit/test cycles. Prototypes include a HIPAA-aware chat (two months to first pass), a screenshot-feedback tool, a word-search game, and EndUp — a production candidate with 533 lines of Clojure front-end and ~200 backend lines. Performance limits exist but native modules act as an escape hatch.
