I used this eleventy template: GitHub - kohrongying/11ty-blog-starter: 11ty v3, Tailwind v4. Works when JS is disabled · GitHub
I liked because it’s clean and supports light/dark mode, I just had to add OpenGraph metatags to the base template.
I’m still figuring out how to configure eleventy, once I have that sorted out I will try to add an RSS feed as you suggest.

The RSS Atom feed is up.
I also added an additional section on the IO Lists definition, since the typespec as shown in the documentation is not quite clear. It turns out iolists are made of ioheads and iotails, and tails cannot be bytes, but heads can. In the type maybe_improper_list(a, b), a is the contents and b the termination, as mentioned in Types and Function Specifications — Erlang System Documentation v29.0.2.
So if iolist is defined as maybe_improper_list(byte() | binary() | iolist(), binary() | [])
Then this works:
iex> :erlang.iolist_to_binary([1 | "2"])
<<1, 50>>
But this breaks with a not very useful error message:
iex> :erlang.iolist_to_binary([1 | 2])
** (ArgumentError) argument error
:erlang.iolist_to_binary([1 | 2])

better not to try your luck everywhere with improper list. The only core erlang lib that I know that returns an improper list is:
iex(1)> :string.next_codepoint("abc")
[97 | "bc"]
It sorta makes sense because it is a no-op for charlist strings:
iex(3)> :string.next_codepoint('abc')
'abc'
If someone is going to redesign erlang from the ground up it is probably better to make improper list or cons cell a synonym of 2-tuple, so everything can make a lot more sense. but whatever.

I completely agree with you, this was mostly an exploration of the language rather than a recommendation or trying to find places where to use them. I found places where the docs were a little ambiguous or descriptions of the same thing were scattered around, so I also tried to somewhat document that.

There are places where improper lists are super handy and having them identical to 2-ary tuples would be irritating. For example I used cons cell instead of tuples in BARE implementation due to fact, that 2-ary tuples can be used for other things there, and I didn’t wanted to have some heuristic there to deduce whether it is proper type or field ID specifier.

That could cause a lot of confusion if sometime a chain tuples appears as a list and sometimes as tuples. I definitely like being very explicit and not try and be too kind and helpful. It is bad enough now as it is with strings.
t would also make the display function a bit more complex.

This is not exactly about Elixir, but about how to apply an Elixir design pattern to Javascript. Many people here write a bit of client side Javascript so I think it is relevant.
