In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN. I've been working on an Elixir library for synchronising state, maintained by the server, to connected web clients. I found this was something I kept implementing for side-projects, so I've extracted it into a library. It solves a similar problem to Phoenix LiveView, but aimed at a different level of…

  Bloom – 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…

  ElectricSQL, Postgres to SQLite active-active sync for local-first apps2023 · electric-sql.com · ▲617

  Hi HN, James, Valter, Sam and the team from ElectricSQL here. We're really excited to be sharing ElectricSQL with you today. It's an open source, local-first sync layer that can be used to build reactive, realtime, offline-capable apps directly on Postgres with two way active-active sync to SQLite (including with WASM in the browser). Electric comprises a sync layer (built with Elixir) placed in front of your Postgres database and a type safe client that allows you to bidirectionally sync data from your Postgres to local SQLite databases. This sync is CRDT-based, resilient to conflicting…

  LiveViewJS – TypeScript back end for LiveView Apps (Phoenix LiveView)2022 · github.com · ▲146

  Author 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!

  es6_maps, new Elixir syntax feature via runtime compiler hacking2024 · github.com · ▲71

  Hi HN! I thought you might enjoy this even if you don't know much about Elixir. `es6_maps` is a small library that introduces a "shorthand" map creation syntax, similar to shorthand object construction in JavaScript/TypeScript. For those unfamiliar with Elixir, the most interesting aspect might be how it achieves this. `es6_maps` takes advantage of BEAM (Erlang's VM) hot-reload capabilities to amend the Elixir compiler bytecode at runtime, adding functions that expand the shorthand syntax for further compilation. I think it's a nice showcase of the power you can wield (with care) when…
