I've released hex.pm/packages/req..., a Req plugin adding WebSocket support, via Mint.WebSocket. And yes, I'm a one-trick pony: all my Hex packages are Req plugins. #ElixirLang

Hey bksy, I’m on the look out for my next project, I’m an experienced Elixir dev (> 8 years commercially, and > 10 years of Ruby before that + I'm still the maintainer of RSpec), very familiar with Phoenix and LiveView, and have enough CSS / JS knowledge to approach projects from a full stack angle.

I'm thinking the default value of `opts` for `start_supervised` should be `[restart: :temporary]`

Thanks to the @theerlef.bsky.social (EEF) for a €1,750 contribution to our Rebar4 Kickstarter. It moves us closer to funding work to prepare for OTP integration and cut external deps.

I'll be speaking at ElixirConf US 2025!
