  If you're new to IHP, here's a few links to get you started:

  - Watch the intro video to get a rough overview of the framework: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbDtS_mUMpI

  - You can see all Features of IHP described on the website https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/

  If you want to play with IHP and build your first Haskell app:

  - Installing IHP: https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/Guide/installation.html

  - Creating your First Project: https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/Guide/your-first-project.ht...

  - Building a Single Page App? Check Thin Backend (https://thin.dev/), it's basically IHP for Frontend :)

  (Author here) Never expected something I wrote to be on the first page of HN begins sweating. I’ll be checkin this post throughout the day, so if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

  I'm never sure why people speak so positively of IHP. It's like, yes, I'm a fan of Nix and Haskell, but IHP is effectively paid (at $25/mo! that's not even a paltry sum) for any of the more worthwhile features regarding account management. I have no clue why I'd want to buy into an ecosystem where such features are sequestered away from me by default.

  i think the new common lisp web/gui framework CLOG [0] thats being developped by david botton is a good competitor to IHP. it is also 100% free

  Nix builds just fine on macos and I believe there's been some success with WSL as well, so that's not really a limitation.

  Seems like nix makes this more work then just a simple 2 step Dockerfike that builds and sets it up to run.
