Idea's for elixir/Phoenix open source projects?
Hey Guys,
Im pretty keen on creating an open source project to really show off the power of elixir/phoenix but not 100% sure on what I should be building.
Some Idea’s:
-
Web Scraper web interface:
So a locally installed server which allows anyone really to scrape data from a website. They can then set up endpoints where they want this data to be sent to/create an api. Possible concerns with this one are the legalities + there is already something similar called Portia -
Blogging Platform for Developers
Bit more of a Generic one but a static site generator like Jeklly with a more developer focused approach. E.g. syntax highlighting out of the box, slick admin user interface, integrations with things like slack/github etc. -
Background Process
Some sort of background process that does X. Not really sure exactly what but If anyone has any ideas that would be great.
Would love to hear some more ideas if anyone has any!

Have a look at this thread @Harrisonl
I like this idea… but not a static site generator, Phoenix is fast enough for it to be hosted imo. So I’d be more interested in something more dynamic than Jekyll, with commenting and the ability to extend it perhaps (a bit like Wordpress). Who knows a Wordpress killer might be written in Phoenix

Oh cheers for the link, I’ll have a look through them!
In regards to the blog - I was wondering if you knew what the speed difference would be with having SSR via Phoenix vs Nginx service gzipped html?

Yes please! Less Jekyll but more like hosted Medium/Wordpress for developers
