(r/place)

A real-time, collaborative pixel art platform inspired by Reddit's r/place, implemented in Clojure and ClojureScript.

Constraints / design choices

No database, delibrately not to use a database or external dependency. This will help us highlight some of the goodness Clojure has to offer.
Project aims to host only one global canvas.

Architecture

Backend is a HTTP-kit server which serves both HTTP and WebSockets requests.
