I’m thinking about using Elixir as the basis for a Braille Screen Input facility, to be used on Linux-based mobile phones (e.g., running postmarketOS). For development, I’d like to have copies of Phoenix and associated libraries available. However, I may not want these in the production version.
I’m pretty sure that I can accomplish this by hacking around in mix.exs, but I’m wondering whether there’s anything else I should consider or Best Practices I should follow. Help?

That’s pretty much what I had mind, but I was wondering whether there’s anything else I should bear in mind.

There is only one thing I have in mind …
Make sure you would use proper
mixenvironment for compiling/running app and making a release. If:live_dashboardwould be:dev-only dependency then you would not be able to use it when testing your app locally inprodenvironment. Simplest example:
