DESBUY.com - my newLISP bootstrapped project

[hilti]

Hi newLISPers!

Today my first bootstrapped website project launched. DESBUY http://www.desbuy.com. It's a platform for finding local design furniture. Currently is backed by eBay, local dealers coming soon.

It's entirely based on newLISP Code and runs on Amazon EC2 (micro instance). Geolocation is done by passing (env "REMOTE_ADDR") to a webservice.
Dynamic translation is provided by a list and lookup - no database required there ;-)

More newLISP projects are on the way.

Cheers
Hilti

Nice one. Did you go with Dragonfly or a newer framework...?

Thanks cormullion! Hopefully my site is usefully for You.

Did you go with Dragonfly or a newer framework...?

Dragonfly and some custom developed modules. I used it again, because developing is straightforward and I want a minimum viable product after a hacking session at the weekend.

A new web framework should at least include more functions as Dragonfly (like form-error handling, named routes, advanced ajax stuff), but that requires a lot of work.
