Elixir. Phoenix or Hologram. I prefer the latter.

Bart Blast shows how to build local-first applications in pure Elixir using Hologram.

I think he’s created something truly special here. I’ve been playing around with it and the DX is unmatched imo. Looking forward to the official release.

It was a nice place pre-LLMs. One of the better communities imo.

What makes it better than Conductor?

Claude, is that you? :)

yep, this is what I'm doing except with cloudflare's R2 :)

I don't think CRDTs are needed and they come with some significant downsides. Bart's plan has the right idea using server reconciliation.

It can handle file uploads. What issue are you running into?

Hologram is a joy to work with. Local first support will take it to the next level. Bart is cooking.

Haha I genuinely couldn't tell. I liked it which made me think that it was actually created by a human but had me a bit concerned that my detector is losing calibration.

Is this Gen AI or did you write it?

If we're not speculating, what are we even doing here?

I like this framing. Nice typography btw, a pleasure to read.

Interesting, I think it's gotten worse over time. Even basics like what the temperature will be in a few days. It's consistently ~5+ degrees off on the low side.

Feels ironic now that Warren is himself an oil prospector with his Occidental stake.

You can take a look at JS commands and hooks. Ultimately I came to the determination that while LiveView is cool, I think I want the opposite. I’m hoping Hologram will be the answer.

Looks interesting. How do you make sure that agents that need to collaborate on the solution actually collaborate if they’re working in parallel?

Hologram looks really good. Excited to build offline-capable fullstack Elixir apps with it.

Generally I find static typing to be overrated, even more so with elixir due to pattern matching and immutability. I think elixir’s set-theoretic types will be a nice addition and will provide some compile-time safety checks without needing to explicitly define types for everything. It remains to be seen how far they’ll take this approach.

Yeah it’d be nice if they had a mix task to include your js frontend of choice and it “just worked”. Many have used inertia with success. I’m taking a different approach and pairing svelte with Phoenix channels.

Phoenix or Meteor.js

Curious, what’s the tech stack?

This looks really cool. Keep going

> I dunno about you but I find it pretty discouraging

same :)

I agree with you but as a thought exercise: does it matter if there is a lot of boilerplate if ultimately the code works and is performant enough?

Fwiw, most of the time I like writing code and I don't enjoy wading through LLM-generated code to see if it got it right. So the idea of using LLMs as reviewers resonates. I don't like writing tests though so I would happily have it write all of those.

But I do wonder if eventually it won't make sense to ever write code and it will turn into a pastime.
