Refer to the README on https://github.com/plexus/chestnut. The Github pages site is no longer in use, I've deleted it.
We'll maintain the docs in the doc directory on the master tree, although admittedly they could use a refresh. Chestnut is a Clojure/ClojureScript application template. It was originally conceived as an attempt to take the pain out of getting a working ClojureScript setup with live reloading plus a browser connected REPL. It provides a solid default configuration for a REPL driven workflow, a ClojureScript setup with separate dev/prod/test builds, Figwheel integration, and a basic setup for running CLJ and CLJS unit tests. It provides a basic web backend setup with Compojure, and a frontend based on one of the React wrappers (your choice of Om, Reagent, Rum, re-frame, or Vanilla JS). It works out of the box on popular cloud providers like Heroku. So while it's quite "complete" in a sense, it also tries to be minimal. Boilerplate code is kept to a minimum, and there is only just enough structure to get you started. How you build and structure your app from there is up to you. Chestnut should appeal to beginners because it allows you to get started quickly and with minimal baggage, it should appeal to more seasoned developers because it provides all the "obvious" configuration for a comfortable setup, without being so opinionated that it becomes a straight jacket. I hope that clears things up! There is a low volume but friendly mailing list at http://clojureverse.org/c/chestnut , where people will be happy to answer any questions. Bug reports and feature requests can go on Github ( https://github.com/plexus/chestnut), support questions or discussions about the direction the project should take should go on the mailing list.
