Creating a racing fan site. New to elixir/phoenix but I like it better than django so far. Sure django made things very easy, but I didn’t like the serializations for json and how the rest framework is structured.
I really wish there was something like django-allauth for phoenix, I have spent few days just setting up basic/social auth with pow/assent and learned some things.

Staying ahead on ElixirForum because I’ve been too busy to actually write Elixir day-to-day lately.

Not today, but actually working in StylistEx package (GitHub - aleDsz/stylistex: Elixir CSS parser · GitHub) which is a CSS parser to make Surface a SSR library with styled components and compile-time CSS validation

We are now a team of 10 developers 4 of which (including myself) are elixir developers. 2 were trained from PHP developers into elixir. @blisscs is one of the team members.
We’re now buidling a core banking engine which is being used for money transfer business. It has a ledger, programmatic contract system and all the cool stuff to handle exchange rates like a champ.
I believe this is the first programmable financial system I’ve seen.

I’m still new to Elixir, so still learning a bit of the more basic stuff. I use Ruby for my job. So, functional programming is quite a bit different. The syntax with Elixir is pretty nice though!

I just wrote a bash script to ease my Elixir umbrella projects release assemblages.
It works by creating customized bash scripts per projects. This way whenever a project has a new version to be assembled I just re-run its specific script.
The main script asks for informations that can vary from a project to another such as the project local path, its Phoenix apps names, database url, smtp server infos and other secret data… The project .gitignore file will then be updated so that the files that will be generated won’t be tracked.
For now that’s all. The generated scripts fetch dependencies and compile an umbrella project for production, install and compile all phoenix apps assets, then build a new release.
Later I will automate the processes of sending the releases to their target machine and running them.

I’ve just deployed a very simple Chat App with a Phoenix back end on Heroku. It ended up being more trouble that I had anticipated, because the configuration given in the official docs doesn’t really work for Firefox. But in the end I found an article that solved it. Now I’m just going to keep improving the app.

Would you mind sharing it?
I too have a similar bash script that help me bootstrap a Phoenix project with adapting the defaults configs..
But I find working with bash not so easy compared to Elixir or even some other languages, particularly for file manipulation (sed, awk, grep, etc..). I would like to use Elixir but I’m working with Elixir in containers and the script is meant to run on the host. The lack of a standalone executable binary is really too bad here.. Go for this kind of task might be well-suited..
