There are more advertisements (2) than articles and games (0 and 0, respectively) on the site.

I hope HN helps out and adds to the page, but I think the creator should worry about having some content first, any at all, before they worry about things like monetization. Otherwise it just feels skeezy.




Regarding monetization, I have no intentions of making any money off this site - ever. The advertisements were there because wikidot adds them to free accounts. They should be gone though, since I paid for a "no adverts" account.

As for games and articles, I am working on it and hopefully others will contribute the odd bit of code or link too. In the meantime, I have linked whatever clojure game dev related libraries, articles and blog posts I could find on google, so at least the wiki can act as a place to collect them all in one place - until I get more content, at least.

The reason I put it on HN at all with so little content is exactly because I'm not doing this for money - I'm doing it because I would like to promote clojure, game development and, most importantly, game development in clojure and have received a few emails about the site over the past few weeks. This proved to me that there is interest in such a thing, now I'd like to see if theres enough interest for people to contribute, since it would take me a long time if I'm the only one creating content.

tl;dr: The site is for the community, so I wanted to get the community involved as early as possible. Apologies for the adverts, they should be gone now.


By the way, wikidot is pretty good. It even supports LaTeX-style math, if I remember correctly.


This is the first site I've used wikidot for, so thats good to hear. Thanks. So far its meeting my expectations anyway, so I'm pretty happy with it.

Yeah, it does, I saw it mentioned in the markup docs. Its pretty nice.


The advertisements seem to have disappeared.


I still see them... footer and header of the first page.


There should not be any advertisements.. nor do I see any. If you can check again in a few hours and let me know if you see any? I will complain to wikidot if you see advertisements, since I specifically paid for the "no adverts" option.
