Bitcoin Expo application

An browser application & HTTP API server to demonstrate some useful things that can be done with Bitcoin.

Technologies & tools used:

• ClojureScript
• shadow-cljs
• re-frame (for UI application architecture and internal communication)
• PostgreSQL (as storage back-end)
• React (via Reagent)

Development

First set up a Core Lightning regtest node (or two nodes if you want sender & receiver be different). The simplest way to do it in local environment is to use Polar.

Start these 2 processes in separate terminal windows:

1. overmind start

• will run the processes defined in the Procfile using overmind

2. node out/server.js

• starts the API server application

3. Open browser: http://localhost:8008 to try it out
