Have you used or are thinking about using the Ash Framework?

I’m definitely really interested in aspects of Ash and really impressed with the documentation and effort that has gone into it. I really appreciate that it integrates with Phoenix as opposed to trying to replace it. The main two reasons I haven’t jumped in yet are a) I don’t feel any pain around contexts and actually really quite like them, and b) the DSL gives me pause. My worry around the DSL isn’t that it isn’t flexible (from reading the docs it seems quite flexible) it’s that if I’m going to learn it, I want to expend the energy to go deep and I just don’t have that energy to throw at it right now. Are there any reasonably fleshed out demo repos using Ash à la LiveBeats?

I’m not using Ash but I’m using Spark, the library to build DSLs that Ash builds upon, and I’m having a good time with it so far. It’s extremely flexible and it’s criminally easy to build DSLs with it.
So by extension it seems Ash is also super flexible and extensible, with lots and lots of escape hatches. I’d probably give it a shot in a new project. So far, I’m happy using Spark.

The new documentation site is written with Ash! https://ash-hq.org it’s fully open source available here: GitHub - ash-project/ash_hq: The Ash Framework homepage and documentation site. · GitHub

Innnnnterrrresting. Ok, ya amazing, I will dig into this. A cursory glance is throwing some ideas about phoenix I’ve had for a bit of a loop, but in a possibly good way. It was a very cursory glance!

Pertinent aside: Are you aware your site is down (which the ash docs link to)? https://zachdaniel.dev/

I was not, thanks for letting me know!

Looks like I let the domain name expire Google was gracious enough to let me renew it after expiration, they had a grace period or something. Really appreciate the heads up

No prob! Alerting people to their expired domains?—“This is what I do.”

Well, no, this is like the third time ever… possibly just the second… I’ve just been watching a lot of Seinfeld lately.

Its working on my phone, but it might take some time for the DNS to get figured out/might have its DNS cached still. Hopefully fixed by tomorrow.

I’ve looked at it several times. It looks enticing, but when reading through docs it looks intimidating.

I’m eagerly looking forward to the “build X in 15 minutes” video the author metnioned in a comment Because otherwise… I wouldn’t even know where to start or if I even need it

Still building up to that, but on Friday we’ve got a video coming with LiveView Mastery that is a bit of a “tour” through an example app that shows the various building blocks
