An interesting article, thanks. I come from the Ecommerce area (Shopware) and am very interested in a plugin architecture for phoenix. Shopware is a very customizable system, where you can customize a lot, at controller level via events, decoration of services etc. Also the templates are quite easy to customize and that very fine granular, meaning there are 100s of blocks that you can extend (Twig templates, similar to erlydtl in erlang).
However, I (unfortunately) always need an example project,

Waiting for more advanced examples with Plug!!
