Don't get me wrong, building web apps is immensely fun (especially if you are using LiveView). But building a physical circuit and interacting with it just hits differently. I've been having a blast putting together the Programming Nerves projects 😁.

Saturday mornings are set aside for writing "Financial Analytics Using Elixir". And I must say....I'm really pleased with how the analysis framework is coming together 😍. @livebook.dev and its supporting tooling is such a nice fit for this!

Nerves with the Livebook firmware (github.com/nerves-liveb...) reminds me of the early Arduino days. With Arduino you had an IDE to develop in and update the firmware. With Livebook you can do all your coding in Livebook and everything is realtime. Such a nice DX!

We're in a similar boat. Started eaglemms.com (my bootstrapped business) back when LiveView was 0.13.0 and haven't looked back since! Elixir and LiveView are a secret weapon in the hands of solo devs 😉.
Congrats to everyone involved in getting LiveView 1.0 🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉

One of my favorite "go to" patterns in my Elixir apps for read only data is to store it all in DETS (erlang.org/doc/apps/std...), commit it to the repo with Git LFS (git-lfs.com), and then bundle it into the Docker container. Data fetching doesn't much faster than that ⚡ #ElixirLang

I have been enjoying Rust while I go through and create Rustler NIFs for my Elixir projects. Such a potent combo to have Rust take care of the CPU intensive work and use Elixir for everything else. I have a short list of libraries that I want to create bindings for 😉. Stay tuned!
