Template application for racket templates

[spdegabrielle]

Would you be up for creating a simple template application for racket templates?

The idea is to make it easier for users to get started with RacketScript

Maybe the playground source would be appropriate ?

https://github.com/racket-templates

So would it be appropriate to just copy the files from the playground?

Whatever you think would be best for getting someone new to RacketScript started?

is RacketScript playground written in RacketScript?

[spdegabrielle]

I'd like to get the template into a state where a user could click to deploy - is something like Glitch possible?

I've never used Glitch but iiuc it would be the compiled js that is deployed? So would that still be useful?

is RacketScript playground written in RacketScript?

Yes, both client and server are 100% rs, but there are a lot of ffi calls to libraries like express

I ported the example node app from glitch.com: https://github.com/racketscript/glitch-template

It's set up so someone could clone and easily deploy by just typing make

You can see it running here: http://dev.racketscript.org:8080/

I've never used racket templates, but you can add this as an example there if you think it makes sense.
