We try to put together a review system analyzing some systems out there like Fiverr, Amazon, Google, Lyft and Uber.

Features

Review: it allow you to have multiple aspects with an score, imagine how many businesses like Fiverr have some features of the review you want to score independently.

Aspects: are like featured skills in the review that you would like to score: like good_communicator, nice_music or whatever comes to your businesses model.

Reactions: you can react to comments or reviews on the systems. You can use reactions as you please, maybe a like and dislike reaction, or funny or whatever makes sense to your business.

Comments: are just what you expect, you have a thread of comments for specific Review

Future Ideas

We want to add some soft of AI analytics that you could do, we could send the review to some Google services for example and then tag back the review. We are not planing to add this in the near future because we need to focus on making money so we can continue improving and creating free and open source code, but we are more than welcome to help you out in the process.

Also the ability to track directly the IPs and flag untrusted reviews and so on.

This is marking the first release of an Elixir implementation of the Paseto (Platform-Agnostic SEcurity TOkens) specification. Unlike JSON Web Tokens (JWT), which gives developers more than enough rope with which to hang themselves, Paseto only allows secure operations.

If you’re running Phoenix behind an Nginx proxy you may see that your conn.remote_ip is always {127, 0, 0, 1}. That’s because Nginx and Phoenix are running on the same host.

There’s a standard for forwarding the remote_ip in cases like this and there’s an Elixir library to do it. In this episode, we set it up, refactor it to get rid of Elixir 1.5 deprecation warnings and verify everything is working via ngrok.

A new PDF generator module for Elixir using Puppeteer to generate PDF files using HTML code. Reason why I did it here.

Fault tolerance is one of the most often mentioned reasons for using Elixir. Yet, in my opinion, most of the resources describe fairly advanced language features and are not really helpful for beginners. In this article, I’ll try to tackle only one problem — handling errors and failures in web applications using Phoenix Framework.
