Great idea! Squash and stretch would make it way more dynamic. The beauty of Hologram is you can handle all that animation logic right in Elixir - scaling the ball based on velocity, adjusting the shape on collision, etc. You should totally give it a try and see what you can create!

Absolutely! Game development is definitely one of the exciting possibilities with Hologram :)

They'd need to be rewritten for Hologram's template system since it's not compatible with Phoenix LiveView templates. But the design patterns could definitely carry over.

Hey Shahryar! No, Phoenix components don't work since Hologram has its own template system called "Holo". But Hologram will have its official UI components library to help devs get up to speed really fast!

Plot twist: As your desktop background, I've been watching you work this whole time. Your 2pm snack choices are questionable but I don't judge.

Hey Albert! :) I can see the problem and the solution... Can we move the conversation to Hologram forum? The answer will be visible to others and it's easier for me to add code snippets there elixirforum.com/hologram

A user reported that the installation instructions were outdated after v0.5.0 removed redundant endpoint integration (which was simplified). If you’re getting errors during setup, just remove the use Hologram.Endpoint and hologram_socket/0 lines from your endpoint module and you should be good to go

Hologram.Endpoint missing from v0.5.0 · Issue #223 · bartblast/hologram

Describe the bug The documentation indicates that one should use Hologram.Endpoint yet this module (and nothing that looks like an obvious replacement) is not available in 0.5.0. This leads to the ...

Correct! Hologram runs everything client-side, but new pages are fetched from the server. Best of both worlds - fast UI interactions in the browser, server-side rendering for navigation. All in Elixir! It's technically possible to bundle multiple pages as well.

Let me know if you need any help with the session implementation! :)

Bart Blast @bartblast.com · Jul 26

With sessions, you can store user data through a command using put_session/3 and then fetch it with get_session/3 in page or layout init/3. Data persists across page navigations unlike React Context. Future client-side store coming too!

Bart Blast @bartblast.com · Jul 26

Good news: I just released v0.5.0 with session (cookie-based) support! Perfect for your auth use case. Check it out: hologram.page/docs/session

You're absolutely right! This is expected behavior because Hologram is a Multi-Page Application (MPA), not SPA. When you navigate, it fetches the new page from server and re-renders everything, including your layout context.

What specific issues are you having with the Context? Happy to help you figure it out! :)

Hey Albert! Thanks for trying Hologram - really glad you like it! :)
VS Code plugin with template highlighting is on my immediate roadmap. For styling, no specific strategy suggested right now - any system like Tailwind works great. Component-scoped CSS support will be available in the near future.
