ElixirConf US 2018 – UX Design Practices for Real Time Apps – Bailey Miller & Tim Mecklem
Elixir and Phoenix have unlocked a new world of responsiveness in our applications. Gone are the days of mashing the refresh button to see updates to data that frequently changes. You can send near real-time updates to every user on your site about every change that happens, but should you?
We’ll share some of the design questions we’ve learned to consider when deciding how and when to notify users of changes. When the session ends, you’ll have some design tools from real-world examples to ensure your users aren’t drinking from a firehose of updates or making decisions from stale data.
Audience: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced

Interesting talk. Having two presenters can sometimes be awkward, but this talk felt like it flowed really well.
For the first example, with the paging, there was something I didn’t understand. If you’re showing 10 items on a page and two new items come in, does that grow the current page to 12 items or does it dynamically give you a newer button that takes you to a page with 2 items? Maybe, you mean that everything stays on the same page in the same list, and paging is just an implementation detail?
