  • Ask HN: Did you encounter any Leap Year bugs today? How bad was it?

    There was one in the Phoenix Framework (Elixir) about issuing certificates with an invalid end date: https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix/issues/5737

    Interestingly, Azure had this bug some years ago too leading to an outage. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/summary-of-windows-az...

  • Building Apps with Tauri and Elixir
    14 projects | dev.to | 19 Oct 2023
    Thus, we set out to build a desktop application using a LiveView from the Phoenix Framework in Elixir. For the uninitiated, a LiveView is a process that receives events, updates its state, and renders updates to a page as diffs. The LiveView programming model is declarative: instead of saying “once event X happens, change Y on the page”, events in LiveView are regular messages which may cause changes to its state.
  • Has anybody compared Phoenix Framwork vs. Blazor?
    1 project | /r/Blazor | 11 Oct 2023
    It seems though like Phoenix is similar like Blazor Server (using web socket), but Phoenix is: SEO friendly (first render is plain html) Light weight, scales well and concurrency is first class Easy to develop (runs a local server so you see live updates) Compiled With auth out of the box https://www.phoenixframework.org/
  • Ask HN: Why isn't Phoenix/Elixir more mainstream?
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Sep 2023
    Sorry to hear this. Phoenix v1.7 changed how it structures files in disk and that broke quite some of the getting started material. However, the guides are always kept up to date, so you can give it a try: https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/overview.html

    You can also see the resources on this page listed by year: https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix/blob/main/guides... - the recent launched ones are most likely up to date.

    Yes! I love Elixir :) [Phoenix LiveView](https://www.phoenixframework.org/) is really amazing. I feel so fast working in it. I got hooked after watching Chris McCord's ['Build a real-time Twitter clone in 15 minutes'](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZvmYaFkNJI&embeds_referring...), and things have improved a lot since then.
  • Ask HN: What's the best modern back end?
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 28 Aug 2023
    I still work on a lot of Java projects. As of JDK 17 Java has most of "ML the good parts" and has the same scalable, reliable and high-performance threading Java is famous for. JAX-RS provides a Sinatra style framework that makes it easy to write JSON API back ends. JDK 21 is just about to come out as a long term supported version and it will be even better.

    I do my side projects in Python with aiohttp and think it is a lot of fun even though people tell me it is suicide (I guess if you block the thread you are in trouble)

    I think "Next.js" really wants a node.js backend which has the big advantage that you can share code with the front end and back end. It's basically single-threaded but I know people who are happy with it.

    The system I'd most like to try is

    https://www.phoenixframework.org/

    which is just great if you want to do stuff with websockets that is more interactive than what most people are doing.

  • Show HN: Podsee – AI tool for podcast listeners
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Oct 2023
    Hi everyone, I just launched Podsee(https://pods.ee) for podcast listeners, lovers. You can search and listen to podcasts at Podsee. What makes it different is that you can get the AI transcript for an episode.

    It started as a side project after I resigned my job one year ago. As a programmer, I love Elixir (http://elixir-lang.org/) and Phoenix LiveView(https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix_live_view), and want to make a product with it. So I build Podsee.

    I'm planning to add more AI features to it, like summarize the episode audio, episode to comics, etc.

    I'd love to invite you all to try out the product and would appreciate hearing your feedback! Thanks!

    "HTML over the wire" generally refers to tech like [0] Liveview, [1] Hotwire, [2] LiveView, [3] Blazor, etc. They aren't about about ditching JS and more about not writing your HTML in JS (and yes, SSR).

  • Phoenix 1.7 is View-less
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 30 Dec 2022
    Some of the 1.7 stuff has an alert banner that pops up when the connection is broken. I think that could really help.

    However I haven't put that in our app as I have seen other issues of flakey connection reconnect issues, and I would hate to make any of those more visible with a flashing notice.
