blockoid

A thin Clojurescript wrapping of Blockly, a library for building Scratch-like interfaces in the browser.

The combination of Blockly and Clojure allows for the easy creation of powerful combinatorial user interfaces and visual languages. See this presentation for a real-world example of use.

See here for other techniques: https://medium.com/@debshish.pal/publish-a-npm-package-locally-for-testing-9a00015eb9fd

I think npm pack might be worth trying

Installing for global use

Running example

cd example
npm link blockoid
shadow-cljs compile app

TODO can't get a compile to work
