OVP is an online schedule providing broadcasting information for sports I enjoy watching. No rocket science involved.

It is a regular Phoenix application that uses Phoenix LiveView, DETS, and GenServers. Wallaby and Floki are used for the web crawlers, but the goal is to keep things simple and leverage almost everything from a what a standard Phoenix application provides. The project is deployed on Hetzner.
