I built Phoenix SaaS Kit - a starter template for building SaaS apps with Phoenix and LiveView. Figured I'd mention the holiday sale since a few folks here have asked about it before.

It's a production-ready foundation with the boring-but-necessary stuff pre-built - auth (passwords, magic links, 2FA, OAuth), Stripe/LemonSqueezy/Polar payments, multi-tenancy with organizations, Oban jobs, LLM integrations, Tidewave setup, prebuild Cursor rules etc. The idea is you skip the infrastructure grind and

Elixir v1.20 with full-type inference coming soon, Gleam v1.14.0-rc1, mjml_eex v0.13.0 for email templates, Dashbit’s nimble_zta library for zero trust auth, Björn Gustavsson’s BEAM history talk, and more!

Hi friends!

Years ago I tried to learn some elixir. At work I'm mostly a TypeScript guy. I just 'launched' a project, a realtime multiplayer game:

Years ago I tried to learn elixir & phoenix but I just didn't make enough progress. You'll notice Claude Code's signature purple gradient. I left it in on purpose; I don't think I could have done this without help from AI. To be honest I'm not sure I wrote much elixir directly!

Hope you like it!

Our Alembian Conor Sinclair’s new blogpost addresses one of the most common mistakes in Ash applications.

If you're using before_action for external API calls, network requests, or sending emails, you're holding database connections open unnecessarily and potentially causing performance issues.

The post breaks down:

• The complete action lifecycle (pre-transaction, transaction, post-transaction phases)
• Why transaction boundaries matter for side effects
• Practica

Finally I was able to finish a new version of my Elixir nRF24L01+ library and write a small blog post about it.

The year 2025 is coming to an end. I would love to see what you have built this year, whatever type of project it may be.

Hey Elixir devs,

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I'm hoping to find someone willing to review my Elixir code!

Background: I'm a full-stack dev (mainly Svelte, Node, Python) who recently completed the PragmaticStudio Elixir/Phoenix course. I've always been fascinated by Elixir's capabilities—especially the concurrency model and fault tolerance—and finally decided to dive in with a real project.

The Project: I'm building

This post is an update from my project that I posted here too. I just designed the PCB for the device and assembled it. The firmware and the hardware design is released under open-source license in this repository: https://github.com/nanassound/midimesh_esp32

The new video demo is about using the device as an access point so Ableton Link-enabled apps on multiple devices can sync the tempo and beat over local network.

Overall, I feel that it's much more enjoyable writing ESP32 firmware in E

Hello,

The last few days I've been working on a library/rebar3/mix plugin that allows you to build OCI compliant container images directly from your releases. Tonight I released the initial v0.1.0 to Hex.

This resembles the functionality found in other eco-systems such as .NET's Microsoft.NET.Build.Containers or ko in Golang.

If this sounds interesting, please give it a spin!

Hi friends 👋 I'm Jakub, creator of LiveVue library. In May I delivered a talk during ElixirConfEU2025 explaining why LiveVue / LiveSvelte / LiveReact are good ideas.

During the presentation I provided a deep-dive into LiveVue library, presented examples, compared it to other approaches and shared my thoughts about that way of building apps.

Hope some of you might like it! LiveVue will hit 1.0 in a few days, so it might be a good moment to check it out 😉

Copied from discord:

This library allows you do easily design multi-band hierarchical reports similarly to Crystal Reports from SAP using its own built-in DSL. It also allows you to create 9 types of charts using the same DSL. You can find a series of comprehensive user and developer guides on hexdocs.

Here are some teaser images from the Online demo (should be up in a few minutes sorry!) You can also find the code for the demo which requires no database at Ash Reports Demo

Hi! Popcorn team at Software Mansion here.

We’ve been exploring new ways to implement a local-first approach within the Phoenix ecosystem. Currently in its POC stage, our project is called LocalLiveView. It runs an Elixir runtime (AtomVM) directly in the browser, allowing for a unique hybrid architecture.

LocalLiveView aims to solve several key challenges:

• Reducing Latency: It eliminates round-trip ti

Alex Koutmos and I just launched the beta of our second Elixir book: Programming Nerves. 🎉

The book is for Elixir developers who want to learn how to build embedded systems with Nerves. It covers GPIO, sensors, Livebook prototyping, and production firmware.

Beta is 38% off, and there are free chapters if you want to check it out first: programmingnerves.dev

Hope it's ok to announce this here without being categorized as "excessive self-promotion" (trying to follow the sub rules)
