  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • elixir-styler

    An @elixir-lang code-style enforcer that will just FIFY instead of complaining

  • elixir-type_check

    TypeCheck: Fast and flexible runtime type-checking for your Elixir projects.

  • Use this until the one built into the language is ready. It has incredibly low performance impact too.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • last10k_liveview

    Streams new SEC Filings in real-time using Phoenix LiveView

  • I recently deployed a Phoenix LiveView app[1] on a shared-cpu-2x 512MB fly machine[2]. Configuration and deployment was non-trivial with their CLI. I ran `fly launch` which auto-detected the project's codebase as a Phoenix app which then auto-generated a Dockerfile with support for rust NIF built using rustler so I didn't have to do anything extra to support the project's rust dependency.

  • lexical

    Lexical is a next-generation elixir language server (by lexical-lsp)

  • I’ve been writing Elixir for years and I can’t even think of the last time I had a language server crash…

    Plus, these days there are many alternate LSP implementations besides Elixir LS:

  • next-ls

    The language server for Elixir that just works. Ready for early adopters!

  • petal_components

    Phoenix + Live View HEEX Components

  • There are component libaries for LiveView.

    https://github.com/coingaming/moon

    I personally wouldn't use React for components in LiveView, you are just adding more complexity to your application for no reason. It really not that hard to build components using JS and LiveView. In the end you get less complex components than what you would get with react.

  • moon

    Moon Design System for Elixir (by coingaming)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
