Elixir/OTP projects and ideas

No amount of exercise or book problems replaces writing an actual library or application, but it can be hard for a newbie to know what to write. This is a thread that helps with that.

I’m looking for two things:

  • General Elixir project ideas—things Elixir is good and well-suited for. Doesn’t have to be something new or worth putting in a portfolio.
  • What libraries do you think are missing in the ecosystem? Writing something many others may use feels great.

Although it is far from trivial, probably, I would like it if there would be a Lets Encrypt client implementation in Elixir/OTP, so we could have automatic, safe and free SSL certificates on our web applications.

I would love to see more Elixir efforts around an open source ecommerce platform. The ecommerce options out there are downright depressing and this is an area where Elixir/Phoenix can really shine. See peach for a WIP (the only one I know of!).

We were looking for funding for e-commerce platform at one point. To be competitive the feature list alone is about 60 pages.

Creator of Erlang

Another suggestion would be to build an Elixir wrapper around my LL(1) parse generator Spell1 which has been designed for this. There is an Erlang and an LFE wrapper now and Elixir would be straightforward.

Where Next?
