Loops With Friends is an Elixir/Elm app that allows users to play music loops collaboratively.

I wrote three blog posts on how I built and tested the backend in Elixir.

ExPlay is a Google Play API in Elixir (ported from the Node.js version). For now, it let’s you look up details of any published Play Store app and download its APK.

Inspired by the Clojure library, hiccup

No major feature in that version but there was a couple of improvements across the board. Here are a few highlights:

• The Postmark adapter now supports server-side templates.
• The Mailgun adapter now supports attaching arbitrary data to emails (custom vars).
• gen_stmp is now an optional dependency.
• and more… Check out the changelog for more details.

I have been building a Phoenix REST API, and I wrote about the TDD process I use.

This is Part I, which focuses on separation of concerns to create reusable modules that can be used in any context, not just from the controller.

In the next few posts about Jenkins, we’ll be working our way up to running tests for Elixir apps, looking at Distillery, doing deployments to standalone servers, as well as playing around with some more advanced Jenkins features like build pipelines.

The latest version of OK has recently been released.

OK makes use of the :ok tuple convention used in many erlang and elixir libraries. It provides a result pipe macro which supports early returns in the case of errors.

OK 0.2.0 upgrades the result pipe so it’s semantics match the the native pipe operator familiar to Elixir developers.

Today benchee has seen it’s 0.5.0 release - the details are in the Changelog while a more high level view + sneak peak of html formatter and graphs resides on my blog.

In general, benchee now scales units e.g. instead of reporting a gazillion microseconds it might report milliseconds or seconds and instead of 5 something million written out it will report 5.xx M(illion). Hope you enjoy this release!

Wasn’t going to say about this, but someone starred my repo. So I thought maybe other people will find it useful. https://github.com/princemaple/elixir-side-effect
