Snowbin – A Mindmap-Based Social Platform Built with Lisp
I built a mindmap-based discussion platform, but what made the project truly interesting was not the UI — it was building the backend in Common Lisp. Inspired by Paul Graham and his book The Hacker and the Painter, I wanted to experience what it feels like to design a system in a language built for abstraction rather than convention. Instead of relying on a large framework, I combined small libraries and built a minimal internal structure myself.
