liveviews VS upscheme

If you want to try the liveview approach but not ready to work with Elixir / Erlang / Beam runtime, you can use liveview in 17 popular languages (Java / C# / Javascript / Typescript / PHP / Python, e.t.c.).

Below are introduction directly quoted from this list:

> This is a list of libraries for creating web applications that handle user interaction with the DOM on the server. These libraries take a different approach from older server-driven browser UIs that simulated a desktop GUI toolkit. They do not lock the developer into working with predefined components; most operate at the level of HTML (DOM) rather than GUI widgets.

> The list strives to be complete rather than awesome. You may see libraries that are not maintained or ready for production.

This approach allows you to handle business logics on the server, and update the screen in browser from the server as well.

That's a conflation. I'm certain for at least some, the choice is more about using a single language than avoiding JS. I'm sure there are people using htmx who use a JS backend. There are at least 5 LiveView clones for JS for instance: https://github.com/liveviews/liveviews#javascripttypescript

Nuxt, Next, SvelteKit, Phoenix(Elixr), Blazor, and various liveview-likes are popular full stack frameworks. So, although many devs are becoming specialized, there certainly still are full stack developers with demand enough to strongly support several frameworks.

The list is seeking a maintainer. https://github.com/liveviews/liveviews/issues/23

> "different" platform with it's own unique patterns and quirks

Everything OP listed was a criticism directed at LiveView, the 'Live App' functionality, not Phoenix, the web framework. Live Apps are not exclusive to Phoenix either, as there are now imitators for every other web framework now, which at least speaks to its broader appeal amongst developers. So the criticism could be leveled towards the far less mature 'Live App' libraries on PHP/Python/JS/C# and so on and on:

However there are two ways you can do this server side: 1. Use a tool similar to live view: https://github.com/dbohdan/liveviews

Speaking of Symfony-based e-commerce platforms, Aimeos announced “Since 2022.01 beta, the Aimeos core is using Upscheme for updating the database schema and migrating data between new releases. Upscheme is composer package for schema management based on Doctrine DBAL which offers an easy to use API. You can also integrate Upscheme it in your own application easily and this article explains the differences and how you can write migrations with only a few lines of code”
