I just released the template that I use to jump-start Phoenix projects (named Legendary). It’s all the goodness of Phoenix+Elixir plus lots of bells and whistles.

So I sat down during my last livestream and gave a first pass at building a web crawler. More to come on this project this coming friday.

Livebook was created for machine learning in Elixir. But Livebook isn’t limited to machine learning. I found it works really well for documenting important app logic too! It combines markdown documentation with your project code and even executes the code showing the results. This makes it easier for new devs ramping-up on a project by getting comfortable with those super important parts of the app.

In episode 49 of Thinking Elixir, Maciej Kaszubowski returns to talk about how read models can help modularize our systems. There is a focus on background job systems and how they fit in our modular designs. We cover push vs pull based systems and which is more maintainable. Maciej also shares his approach to learning and understanding a new Elixir library and more!

JIT compilation is amazing for your development productivity, but it requires some non-obvious changes to get it working with Phoenix. https://sevenseacat.net/posts/2021/tailwind-jit-in-phoenix/

In this part, we will work on the search functionality in our top header navigation menu.
