What's the use-case for an editor embedded in a webpage? It doesn't seem to be able to live-edit the webpage code - so I guess I don't really get it.. It'd be nice is someone made a general text editor that was also embeddedable and could also live edit itself (or the program it's running in). The… on Ace – an embeddable code editor	0	Nov 3, 2018

I'm making a clojure editor with an instaREPL. It runs by embedding it in your project as a dependency rather than a separate application. Not hugely featureful but it might fit your needs: https://sekao.net/nightlight/ on Ask HN: Is Lighttable dead?	0	Mar 27, 2018
Highly appreciate Zach's Nightlight editor - it's one of the best Clojure editors around in terms of design, simplicity and ease on usage. https://sekao.net/nightlight/ on Lightmod – A beginner-friendly, all-in-one tool for full stack Clojure	0	Nov 6, 2017

Introduction

Nightlight is an editor you run inside your Clojure projects. Instead of being a separate application like traditional editors and IDEs, it's just a library that you add to your project. It spins up a web server and provides a completely browser-based interface to edit your code.

By running inside your project, it has complete access to the running state of your program. The ambition is to create something that follows the Lisp and Smalltalk tradition, blurring the line between your tools and your code to provide unprecedented interactivity.

See the website for instructions on how to use it.

Development

Install the Clojure CLI tool
To develop with figwheel: clj -A:dev:cljs
To build and install the release version: clj -A:prod:cljs install
