Question: how customizable are sites built with firn intended to be?

[yosevu]

Hey, just discovered this project!

Love that this is built with Clojure! I'm using org-roam for my notes and wondering: would it be possible to build a theme that integrates links between notes like gatsby-theme-andy does?

Ah, reading the docs and seeing Org-roam mentioned 😊

Hi @yosevu - this is a good question. The short answer is - no, this is not currently possible. Long answer - it might be in a future release. For now, Firn is meant to ship a static site without any JS. However, I intend to investigate attaching either the parsed org content or a munged version of it that can be made accessible to a (probably) ClojureScript layer in the future. This would be useful for building charts, graphic connections between notes, and possible higher-level interactions like you mentioned. Ideally, I'd like to leave most of that up the user. Either way, I'll be thinking about it for a few weeks as I finish other core features.
