It’s my favorite tool for doing GraphQL and blows code gen out of the water. I try and sing its praises to anybody who will listen!

Elixir Adoption Questions Brian Cardarella from DockYard will be on Jacob Luetzow's Elixir Mentor show Friday, June 6th. They will be discussing the topic of Elixir Adoption. The challenges, possibilities, and how the communit...

If you have questions you'd like to ask about @elixir-lang.org adoption while I'm on the Elixir Mentor podcast we put together a question form, you can submit anonymously. We'll read questions on the show and respond to them

#ElixirLang

How does Bluesky app plan to incorporate RSC (if at all)?

Feeling like Expo Router on web doesn't get enough attention. Sure, some nav stuff (tabs) might not look great out of the box, but this is your #reactnative app rendered on web! Plus simple `Platform.OS === 'web'` checks, or `screen.web.tsx` variants is super powerful. Write once, run everywhere.

How are folks handling modals between web (especially desktop) and mobile with Expo Router on #ReactNative. Looking at Bluesky app they seem to roll their own modal implementation. I’m really happy with mobile experience with Expo Router, but desktop needs a lot of customization.

During development with LiveView or Phoenix Channels and seeing live updates working seamlessly between multiple browser windows never gets old. #elixirlang

I think Elixir needs to focus on broader Elixir adoption, not just LiveView. LiveView is amazing, but distancing itself from the broader JS ecosystem is too big of a leap.

Elixir can provide plenty of benefits as even just a GraphQL api endpoint, but that never seems to be discussed anywhere.

Working on a new Elixir side project using @ash-hq.org and needed to implement support for access/refresh tokens. Fortunately, it was pretty straight forward to extend Ash Authentication to add support. www.mikewilson.dev/posts/refres...

#ElixirLang #AshFramework

Probably one of my favorite features of Ash. Helps to ensure so many scenarios are covered - even some you may not have thought of when just writing your own Ecto queries.

Nice read and great overview of materials to master #elixirlang.

(also loving the design of the blog)

Testing LiveView Test LiveView effectively. Trust your code. Ship confidently.

Great list of resources! I’m not affiliated, but I’d also recommend Testing LiveView by @germsvel.bsky.social. It’s been a great resource once you have a good understanding of LiveView. www.testingliveview.com

I think the disconnected flashes are fine, but they should be on a long delay (like 1000ms or even 5s). I don’t need to see it flash every time I switch browser tabs on mobile - current default behavior is pretty bad.

What is the Ash story around GraphQL subscriptions? I recently set some up on Absinthe and while it works great, the boiler plate is pretty significant to setup the triggers for each mutation.

Congrats! Well deserved and nice to see you here on Bluesky

Thanks for the nudge in the right direction! I think I got this all working now. Looks like PromEx has builtin support to run on a different port using Cowboy by configuring the metrics server. If using bandit, then you can just add it to the supervision tree directly and specify the port.

Thanks - yeah, mostly looking how to do this with PromEx and Fly. I'm not sure how to protect that endpoint but still allow Fly to scrape it internally.

Thanks, that helped! I think the piece I was missing is using the same port for metrics that my app is using. Also, I may have missed it, but now I can hit myapp.com/metrics from my browser and can see the output. Is there a way to protect that publicly, or only make it available internally?

Are there any docs for outputting PromEx data to Fly’s built in Grafana instance? I couldn’t get my metrics to show up in Grafana.

Totally agreed. Would love to see Elixir embracing JS/React instead of seeing it as competition. Show what we can do with channels and React. It’s not just LiveView that can do live updates.

Good question, we haven’t had much luck with other strategies yet. Probably more organic and word of mouth, which has been challenging with such a small niche.

Wife and I run an e-commerce store for a very niche product where most of our sales came from blog traffic where that content was answering specific questions (ie “what’s best way to clean xyz”).

Since the Google AI answers went live, we’ve seen an 80% drop in traffic. Really sucks.

Doing some work with #ElixirLang and the Google Calendar API. Love how Req and some pattern matching simplify the code. No need for giant client SDK’s.

PyCascades 2025 - Portland Feb. 8th – 9th, 2025

Come to Portland, a charming city, to participate in one of my favorite Python-related conferences, PyCascades.

Fun Fact: Portland has more microbreweries per capita than any other city in the world.
