Hey there, welcome to elixir
!
Your idea does sound like a good start into learning how processes work: Like you said - it’s simple, but will teach you some important basics.
But for us to actually help you out with your solution and not just write down one of our own, can you share what you currently have tried and why you think it’s not working the way you want it to?
