Hey everyone — I’m putting together a practical, code-first book on building production-ready business applications with Phoenix LiveView + Ash Framework + PostgreSQL. Rather than covering Ash’s API top to bottom, it’s built around one project: a multi-tenant business platform (tenants, customers, suppliers, orders, payments) with the working repo as part of the product.
Genuinely curious what this community thinks — is this the right angle, and what would make it a must-buy rather than a nice-to-have for you?

I personally would find it interesting to have a book that focuses on a singular topic but in greater detail.
I don’t need 5 books that write to-do lists.
The meaty parts of ash are the policies, how you write custom changes and calculations, how to design your resources and relationships, etc. etc.
Those are the thinking parts that you can’t outsource to an LLM.

Count me in as a buyer
I’m building an app like that right now; from my (currently limited) experience, things like authentication, RBAC, archival, paper trail, and AI are challenging. Using Ash packages makes it easier, but you still have to integrate all these parts in a meaningful way.

I would buy

Yep, I would buy it.

I’d probably buy it. I’ve got the Le/Daniel book already and it was enough to get started. What would swing it for me would be material covering why and how to scale an Ash-based system to multiple servers. If it had some aspects of building non-Liveview front-ends, so much the better.

Love the idea of a book covering a single project. The one technical book I loved the most, which I learned Ruby on Rails, was The Ruby on Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl. It walk us from tests to implementation chapter by chapter.

I am with most of the replies in this thread plus it would be great to have maybe a chapter how to create an Ash extension.
Also if a certain chapter or appendix how we can use Ash with databases that does not have an Ash data layer like Oracle as we still have many legacy and enterprise apps with Oracle databases.

IMO, the LiveView + Ash + Postgres stack is a very good place to start. For me, I think adding more details on how to optimize and extend LiveView and Ash is what I really care about. I missed this kind of information in the standard docs and some of the books I’ve read.
