Nice, I used your blog post while I was researching how to get everything up and running in January-ish. The project is definitely exciting and fun to play with. The on-device repl is showcased well in this video.

There was an issue with https/drakma, but I believe that was fixed in a recent version and you can now use https/drakma. (Previously http only).

I do something very similar (although with an approach that is different) and I find that doing harder intellectual work has to be balanced by doing harder physical work (roughly speaking). As an example, some of my recent intellectual work

Pandoc is actually a really powerful tool for converting between different formats. As an example, I recently wrote a book using Markdown (Pandoc's version) and was easily able to export .html, .pdf and .epub from my markdown files. Th

There is backward compatibility with the old Riak Search (which wasn't Solr based) intended to not break old applications, but you can query with any currently implemented Solr client afaik.

Riak 2.x uses Solr to index values from K/V with AAE. If you're interested in how using it looks, I wrote a post using geospatial data here[1]. [1]: http://www.christopherbiscardi.com/2014/02/07/geos
