First Elixir Project (Probably terrible code)
I just finished the first iteration of my first Elixir project. I’m still super new to all of this and would love feedback, pull requests, etc. The code is available here GitHub - osintowl/builtwith: Builtwith API wrapper written in Elixir · GitHub and the documentation is here on hex builtwith. I would love to know if I’m doing dumb things, if there are different ways I should approach the problems, etc. I love elixir so far but still trying to grok it as python has been my main programming language for years.

Maybe Req is now the cool kid in town, however HttpPoison is a battle-tested library that was long before req was created, I use it a lot even to this day. Personally I would just decouple the http client and have a default implementation with whatever is easier to use these days.

Instead of using HttpPoison directly in your codebase, you can define a generic http client interface that is fully configurable.
Here is an example of a interface: lib/ssl_moon/network/http/http_client.ex · main · SSL MOON / SSL MOON · GitLab
And implementation: lib/ssl_moon/network/http/http_client_impl.ex · main · SSL MOON / SSL MOON · GitLab
If you plan on using that code, don’t mind the logic related to redirects as that is irrelevant in your case.

priv is the canonical place to store external resources, ie, non-Elixir files. Stuff in assets gets copied into it which is ignored by default if you use phx_new. You can also store such things in lib if you use the @external_resource module attribute though that’s a bit more advanced!
