I was thinking since Goatmire Elixir turned out pretty good I should maybe do another one. 30th of Sep - 2nd of Oct this year.

We have a list to notify you about the progress and when tickets drop, getting on that list also helps indicate interest.

This post inspired me to write a Typst-based alternative to @derrickreimer.com's OG-Image that you can deploy together with your Phoenix app.
