That would be great! I’m in the need for inspiration on how to best build one or use an existing.

For an LDAP one? If you want generic examples you will find much better examples in the already published strategies for various things. ^.^

I’ve written a library for syntax highlighting named Makeup, which is similar to Pygments.
It’s intended to be modular. The original package only contains some basic tools and tools to convert lists of tokens to HTML. What it’s missing is lexers for more programming languages. Currently there are lexers for Elixir and HTML5.
I’m looking for people willing to write more lexers (the priorities are probably CSS - which is already a work in progress -, Javascript and Erlang). Contributors need to know how to work with the ExSpirit parser (the basis for all lexers), which is a problem, as documentation is still scarce. There is no documentation on how to write your own lexers, although I intend to write it as soon as possible. If you want to help, learning ExSpirit is a good way to start (and it’s an exercise that pays for itself, as ExSpirit is an amazing parser!).

A lot of time has passed since this was last updated, anybody has a shopping list of libraries they sorely miss?
In regards to things I am very closely interested in, that would be a library for making an append-only database that can always be caught up, rsync-style; I mean a local storage mechanism that can withstand a lot of additions without an internet connection and be able to catch up quickly when eventually connected. This comes together with the need for a library to diff instances of the top-level Elixir data structures (lists, tuples, maps). @Eiji mentioned about this but I don’t see links.
I’d like to code some more data structures like regular binary trees, B trees, B+ trees, a Trie (I started one but it’s pretty minimal and doesn’t have processing functions), things like that – although I acknowledge these might not be suited well for a functional language.

I have started work on this, but for now this library is not a priority for me. I have lots of ideas for libraries and no enough time to work on all. Currently I’m working for Kudoo company and we are around invoices and payments topic. Depends on our progress we are focusing on maintaining libraries like invoicex (we are around to release 1.0.0 version soon), ex_api (this will be rewritten) and paymex (on todo list).

Any updates on this? 
I could not find an Elixir equivalent tool.
Just discovered this thread and I think I’ve actually built what you’re describing with Logger here @Eiji @swelham @OvermindDL1.
We just wrapped up our Logger backend. You can see how I’m using it to log observer metrics from prod. This is sent to the hosted Logflare service, so it can end up in BigQuery eventually, which lets me build out some interesting stuff easily with Data Studio.
Here’s my dashboard with some observer metrics. You can send anything to Logflare and it’ll end up in a BigQuery table which you can own and query directly. Schema is managed for you (as long as you don’t change types).
Looking for feedback from Elixir folks. I built Logflare initially for Cloudflare users, but then ultimately wanted it for myself for Elixir as well.
It is open source and you can spin it up yourself but currently, the dev experience for that is not ideal. Soon we want you to be able to provide your own backend, so you can use something other than BigQuery if you want.
Anyways I think it’s pretty cool. I would love to know what you all think!

Hi,
I am working on an ecto adapter for Oracle.
There is also a thread Ecto Oracle Adapter where post updates on progress and ask for help.
Please add to the list if you find it interesting.

I’ve used it in a production project and it worked fine, though it is version 1 of the ACME protocol.
I also used it here https://hex.pm/packages/certbot to get LE certs for a plug/phoenix project. It’s not production tested though
