Hey HN — I'm Jacek. I've been teaching Clojure through video courses (Reagent, Re-frame, Reitit, Datomic, Pedestal) for a few years, hosted on Podia.

I finally got around to building my own platform. It's Clojure on the backend, self-hosted, and gave me the chance to drop prices significantly since there's no platform cut anymore.

The migration from Podia is complete — all user accounts, subscriptions, and purchases carried over. Existing subscribers had their prices automatically lowered.

Happy to talk about the stack, the migration process, or the courses themselves.

Could you tell more about the stack? And also, you clearly know your way around it, so would be curious to hear your thoughts about the language itself - what do you like about it?

Is the source code available? You mentioned it being self hosted, thought I might be able to find it on GitHub but didn't see it linked anywhere.

It might not be; I did a couple of GitHub searches in their organization for strings on their homepage, and found no matches.
