Our main focus is react at the moment, but ideally it will be a relatively thin wrapper around Phoenix Sockets + channels…

The goal of this effort is a live_view(ssr) ↔ SPA middle ground… that lets elixir devs keep more state on the server, but still benefit from all the effort poured into the react/angular/vue(name your framework here) front end UI libraries.
