@tolitius: thanks for taking time to reply
it turns out the repl cider started doesn't reflect the same application state as the my dev
task (I'm using boot)
I resolved this by starting the repl in the dev task and used cider-connect
instead
I've moved my entire app from component to mount, and there's a great simplification in code 👍
@jethroksy: glad to hear it is resolved
niice, thanks for the feedback :simple_smile:
