Originally I thought it would be easiest to just create a REST api using liberator and use angular on the client. This can be achieved dead-easy by just using the lein angular template. This introduces a whole slew of new dependencies such as grunt for building, coffescript, etc. However at the moment it doesn’t seem clear to me that the current requirements warrant this complexity. I think we should go with the mantra that simplicity always trumps complexity and just go with a dead-simple web app for now. We can always introduce more advanced technologies later. That’s the nice thing about this approach. Nothing is fixed, all the technologies can be used at your own convenience.
Here’s a few pertinent links:

- https://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial/step_11

- fs seems quite complete and is on clojars. However
with-tempdiris not in there. Maybe it can be used as follows:
(with-open [tmpdir (java.nio.file.Files/createTempDirectory "/path" "prefix")]
(println tmpdir))
