I tried fulcro but the amount of concepts you needed to learn was a bit too much. Unfortunately I was experimenting with electron which made it more complicated. It sounds a great framework if you have the right requirements but personally I found reagent/reframe alot simpler for my use case.

Also, the fulcro docs are thorough but it didn't click for me, I left with some questions unanswered.

That I can agree with, I use re-frame quite a bit in my day job, it's straightforward and lets you get things done.

I'm also of the opinion that the Fulcro docs are very substantial, but aren't always easy to get your question answered. I've been blogging little bits and pieces of things that I've figured out that I don't think were super easy to discover, considering the amount of work that's gone into it, I'm hopeful that the situation will improve.

However it's an interesting change to see something designed that's trying to be a complete end to end solution, take the new RAD tools for example[0], there's some cool stuff going on there. There's a demo[1] available as well.

Re-frame is enjoyable and the concepts are straightforward, unfortunately Fulcro suffers from the same problem as Om which is that the concepts just make you feel stupid..

Hey, where's your blog? I'd like to take a look at those bits too!

Will take a look, tks

I find myself going to the youtube videos a lot. There's a lot of new concepts in Fulcro. I'm surprised how long it's taking me to figure it out, but I haven't given up yet, and so far I'm liking it. I'm hoping that the investment proves worthwhile.

I saw the videos, they are helpful but I couldnt make my project work somehow.

I get it. Also, the community is active in their Clojurians Slack channel #fulcro
