A simple boilerplate that handles boring stuff when developing bots for telegram like pattern matching commands and pattern matching messages to find where it’s chat ID should be in the map so you can reply.

Final Fantasy XIV is an MMORPG that allows you to look up information on characters and Free Companies via a website. They do not provide an API for this information, so I whipped up this library to parse relevant character and FC statistics for another in progress project. (Ab)uses Floki to rummage through the HTML pages.

In this post, I talk about the first step to building your Kitto based dashboard: writing jobs to get data. Throughout the post we build a job to pull in information from JIRA and display it in a friendly format.

Changelog.com recently open sourced the Phoenix application that provides the backend for their website and podcast publishing platform. I took a look through it, and made some notes about the interesting parts.

Deploying containerized applications is easy enough nowadays. But connecting them to each other can be a pain point. I dive into how to connect elixir containers with the ‘Peerage’ library, using dns-based discovery that Kubernetes, Flynn and others already provide.

Check out this dive into Meteor-style authentication and how to do basic integration with Meteor Accounts in an Elixir application.

Because functions like link and content_tag don’t return strings, but return tuples of :safe and an IO list I was confused about how to write tests for my code that uses them. I describe how I learned how to test view code using those functions in Testing Phoenix Views.

I recently shared how to build your own real-time web service with Elixir/Phoenix at Manchester Lambda Lounge. Here come the slides.

deep_merge is a ew library to deep (recursive) merge maps and keyword lists and your own structs/types through protocols or you can modify merging behavior through an optional function as an argument.

You can find it on github, hex and hexdocs. I also wrote a small release blog post detailing how the library came to be after trying to get deep_merge into elixir.

This post triggered ElixirStatus’ 1000th tweet. Shortly, we - as a community - will reach 3,000 followers on Twitter alone and ElixirWeekly, our newsletter, is growing double digits as well.

These are amazing times to be an Alchemist :D

I just released v1.1.0 of html_sanitize_ex, which includes a new scrubber. Use HtmlSanitizeEx.markdown_html/1 to sanitize HTML generated by a Markdown parser.

This was tested on elixirstatus.com for the last two weeks by depending on v1.1.0-rc1. Please report any bugs I might have overlooked!
