IsMyAIDown – AI status monitor with Phoenix LiveView. Can you crash it?
I recently built IsMyAIDown.com to challenge some assumptions about modern web development. Instead of reaching for React like everyone else seems to be doing these days, I wanted to see if I could build a distributed, scalable, real-time, single-page app using server-side tech with Phoenix and LiveView. The core idea was simple enough - monitor major AI providers and show their status across different geographic regions. But the primary goal was to better understand what was possible without the complexity of modern frontend frameworks. I ended up deploying across three Fly.io regions and…

In plain words
IsMyAIDown monitors the status of major AI providers across different geographic regions in real time. Built with Phoenix and LiveView, it demonstrates how to create a distributed, scalable single-page application using server-side technology rather than frontend frameworks like React. The tool deploys across multiple regions and uses background job processing to perform health checks geographically. It's designed for developers and users who want to track AI service availability and for those interested in alternative approaches to modern web development.

LiveViewJS – TypeScript back end for LiveView Apps (Phoenix LiveView)2022 · github.com · ▲146Author here. I really love the programming paradigm behind by Phoenix LiveView applications and wanted to expand the ecosystem to include programmers like myself that love Typescript. In summary, LiveViewJS reuses all the Phoenix client code and implemented a new backend in Typescript to handle client events and send back updates. Lots more detail and examples in the repo. Would love any questions and/or feedback. Thanks!
- BABloom – A shadcn like UI library for Elixir and Phoenix2024 · bloom-ui.fly.dev · ▲189
I've been writing Elixir for 5 years and made plenty of sites with Phoenix and LiveView but my biggest gripe has always been with the lack of quality UI components available. The JS ecosystem has so many, and it's the one thing I miss from being primarily a React & Node developer. So this is my attempt at bringing some pretty and useful components most applications need to Phoenix projects to try and fill in the gaps between what makes LiveView such a productive joy to work with. The library is very very raw and requires some initial clean up so PRs are very welcome to tidy up the DX as well…

- PIProgrammerHumor.io – WordPress to Phoenix Liveview ~ 7x faster2025 · programmerhumor.io · ▲12
I migrated programmerhumor.io from WordPress to Elixir/Phoenix and the results are mind-blowing. The site is now blazingly fast with dramatically reduced server load and zero crashes. No more WordPress plugin hell with constant conflicts, security patches, and performance degradation. Phoenix LiveView made the UX significantly smoother than the WordPress version. The migration process was surprisingly manageable thanks to Phoenix's clean conventions, which helped untangle the WordPress spaghetti schema. My only regret is not making the switch sooner.
- HLHacker Live – real-time Hacker News client built using Phoenix LiveView2023 · hackerlive.net · ▲22
Hacker Live is a client for Hacker News that provides live updates to lists and comments. I’ve built this to get into Elixir / Phoenix / LiveView development. The UI follows HN look and feel for the most part, with a few opinionated tweaks and additions: - Sticky comment summaries to help keep track of the discussion context in nested comment threads - Subtitles on list entries and summaries on story pages generated by an LLM to help you decide whether a given article is worth your time - List entries link to the discussion page by default - Surfacing of links in comments to…
