A simple toy project to reimplement strawpoll.me

This software is not, and probably will never be usable by anybody except as an example

My Goals:

• Use GHCJS and Blaze-React to make a responsive and easy to develop frontend
• Minimize boilerplate by sharing data types between front and backend
• Explore using AJAX and also WebSockets
• Learn more about production application database management in Haskell. What does deployment look like? How to manage change?
• See how much code can be shared between client and server

Compiling:

Build the client:

cabal install -j1 -fclient --ghcjs

Build the server:

cabal install -j1 -fserver

Link static files:

cd static
ln -s ../dist/..../client.jsexe/* .

Run Server:

dist/.../server
# Visit port 7000
