About a month ago, I wrote an article on how to use the cross-platform version management tool vfox to install and manage multiple Erlang/OTP and Elixir version under Linux system -> Install mutiple Erlang and Elixir with vfox. the demonstration operation system used in the article is Ubuntu 20.04 Linux operation system.

Recently, the latest version of the vfox-erlang and vfox-elixir plugins has supported the installation and management of multiple version of Erlang/OTP and Elixir under Windows platforms. and has passed the End to End test -> Testing.

This article will use the Windows 10 operation system as an example to teach you how to install and manage multiple Erlang/OTP and Elixir version on Windows platforms.

Struggling with building consistent UIs across your Phoenix LiveView app? Freshcode’s blog post reveals how WebComponents can help. Find out how this standardized solution allows reusable components to work seamlessly with LiveView and other frameworks. Read now to simplify your UI development: https://www.freshcodeit.com/blog/web-components-in-liveview

If we view Phoenix LiveView as a zero-JS framework, we neglect the possibilities that emerge when we lean-in to JS interoperability using client hooks. This blog post details how I’ve been doing just that in my time building Prototape.

The Stack Overflow’s annual survey is on. It will be great to see Elixir, Phoenix and Ash at the top again!!! Elixir and Phoenix were the most loved languages/frameworks. I searched about them and ended up here with you.

Hi! I wanted to share a simple Typesense library with support for Ecto. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone! :)

I am excited to share our heart project Backpex with you. After building several Phoenix applications, we realized that we were repeating ourselves when it came to building administration panels. We were writing the same CRUD views, search and filter functionality over and over again. We wanted a tool that would allow us to quickly scaffold these views and focus on building the core functionality of our applications.

The tool we wanted had to be able to serve as a simple backend administration panel in one project, while being the core of the application in another. We looked at existing solutions, but found that none of them offered the flexibility and customization we were looking for, especially in terms of live updates and LiveView features. We decided to develop Backpex to solve this problem and provide a highly customizable administration panel for Phoenix LiveView applications. Backpex should not only be a simple administration interface for developers, but also a good-looking UI for end users.

Even though Backpex already offers a lot of features, there is still a lot to do. We also have many ideas for future work. That’s why we are very open for contributions and appreciate any help. We have just released a public roadmap and created some issues that are open for contributions on GitHub (see “good-first-issue” label).

We really want to hear what you would like to see next and what is missing. We’d love to hear your feedback and I wish you a great day! :)

Abstract:

We have spent a couple of years recruiting, training and engaging community members into elixir. The community has grown and remained active throughout the years since its inception. We believe that expanding the ecosystem fuels innovation, enhances flexibility, improves productivity, enables specialised solutions, fosters diverse communities, and promotes continuous learning

Our goal is to get the community members to be able to compete internationally and also by upskilling so that the Kenyan ecosystem can adopt elixir now that we have more developers using Elixir. We have encouraging results so far :-) We want to share our experience on how we grew this community, what we did - right and wrong and our future plans
