Ask HN: Does anyone here makes sw for kiosks, infotainments or similar?
That's basically what I did for some screens around the office (before covid sent us to remote work) - elixir backend with a raspberry pi on the back of each TV, then Drab[0] to update the screen over websockets (liveview wasn't a thing then IIRC)

Designing solutions with state machines in Elixir
There are also some libs in Elixir that helps us implement state machines, one of them is the machinist that I have created to help me write state machines at work. I knew at the time there were others libs before I write that one but I needed something decoupled of ecto and processes, that were simple to use and have a nice DSL easy to read that even non-developer people in my team could understand the rules from the code as well as new comers developers not experienced in Elixir.
What are some alternatives?

Reducer Machine - Simple reducer-based state machine
Meeseeks - An Elixir library for parsing and extracting data from HTML and XML with CSS or XPath selectors.
gearbox - ⚙️ Gearbox is a functional state machine with an easy-to-use API, inspired by both Fsm and Machinery
modest_ex - Elixir library to do pipeable transformations on html strings (with CSS selectors)
Machinery - Elixir State machine thin layer for structs
