Phoenix LiveView 1.0.0 is here
Thank you and the team for your hard work, and congratulations on the release!
Suggestions for Demos:
1.Charting Libraries Integration
There’s currently a lack of demos showcasing LiveView integrated with powerful charting libraries like Apache ECharts, Plot, Chart.js, etc. A demo of a LiveView-powered dashboard using one of these libraries, connected to a database like SQLite (for simplicity) or DuckDB (for speed and demonstrating integrations beyond Ecto-native DBs), would be fantastic.
Emphasizes interactivity: For example, demonstrate how a server-based LiveView can handle actions such as mouse hover on a chart to update tooltips/labels, click-and-zoom interactions, or connected charts with brush functionality.
2.UI Component Libraries
A demo showcasing robust integration with UI component libraries would also be valuable. Features like tables with pagination, sorting, filtering, and autocomplete/typeahead functionality within modals could be a strong focus.
I’d suggest leveraging lightweight libraries like Flowbite or Preline, as they integrate seamlessly with Phoenix and rely on almost pure HTML and Tailwind for styling.

An experiment in UI density created with Svelte
> Not that you're asking for advice,
The cunningham's-law-optimal way is to not ask, surely. Either that or the some programmers equivalent of the "death drive".
> canvas
Indeed, the canvas is basically inevitable, but it's a bespoke chart that has both temporal and non-temporal data in it (not sure what the terminology should be, but imagine plotting market expectations of interest rates in future and what expectations were historically displayed relative to current levels - but repeated ~200 times), so the existing chart libraries aren't particularly helpful and can get in the way of being able to click on stuff.
Anecdotally I find that programmers are very good at writing charts for the kinds of data they understand (time series, time series of their stock options, etc), but even the "generic" (e.g. grammar of graphics) libraries can still struggle with simple combinations of those domains.
Obviously you can just treat the charting library as a black-box for which you derive coordinate transformations and make things appear in the right place but not a great bus-factor for that kind of code.
I use https://github.com/leeoniya/uPlot for sparklines and so on, very fast.

BACKEND:
It's about 3000 lines of Crystal code https://crystal-lang.org/ -- it's been an absolute dream to program in. Ruby-like syntax, statically compiled performance. Nice standard library. Would recommend :)
Performance == caching
Local ephemeral filesystem for shortest-term caching.
Redis for shared medium-term caching and locking.
S3-compatible object storage for longest-term caching (for raw data feeds pulled every evening by a cronjob).

you can use matchMedia to detect devicePixelRatio changes and re-sync:

AMP Has Irreparably Damaged Publishers’ Trust in Google-Led Initiatives
Safari's slow release cadence (typically tied to OS version upgrades) does leave it more broken and for longer than Firefox, Chrome, Opera and other browsers that are updated more frequently and not tied to the OS.
just recently i ran into incompatibilities with Safari < 14 needing the old-spec matchmedia api:
