It looks amazing! But is just me or this workflow of sync client data with server one can take a lot of network bandwidth?
E.g:

On a SPA or Server Render you normally don’t tranfer so often
chrismccord
For an “image editor”, yes, absolutely would use more bandwidth than a client app, but that example is more to showoff the minimal diffs we apply on both client and server. The autocomplete search example is a much better real-world comparison when discussing bandwidth:

In this case, the LiveView diffs match the best, most optimized server JSON you could write by hand, and you get that for free with zero effort. For some use cases we will use more bandwidth , like real-time form validations, but there are others where we can match, or potentially beat, a SPA bandwidth wise.

To add to what Chris said, there is also a feature to add debouncing/throttling in the cases you don’t want to immediately send changes all the time to the server.
WolfDan
Oh I see makes sense then, In your opinion what are the best use cases for LiveView? Do you think something like a social network could fit into it?
That’s what I love about Elixir community in general! You think about everything when giving us new tools/features, thank you for the amazing work guys!

Whooo hoo! Congrats Chris, José and everyone who worked on or helped contribute towards it
Can’t wait to try it out now
(Have also split these posts into a dedicated thread

+1.
I’m really, really keen to start playing with this and finally seeing if I could replace Meteor with it for the application I want to update (and now migrate).

Can’t wait to try this out!
Big "thank you"s to everyone involved in that project, now lets all take this baby for a test drive and give feedback, so they can continue their work
