Holy smokes this is awesome, a new debugger for Phoenix LiveView. Think React devtools, but not a chrome extension.

Ash has an upcoming book with PragProg that covers:

- Domain models and forms with LiveView
- Auth and authz
- dynamic search
- Rest and GraphQL APIs
- notifications (tbd)

For an Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView devs out there- high recommend digging through the Plausible Analytics repo as a reference.

It’s a great example of a real Elixir app at scale

After reading about BlueSky verification via domain names I discovered I had an old rosscodes.com URL laying around with nothing on it.

I've also been interested in finding a way to use Obsidian as a CMS to publish a Blog site and so far.. fairly frictionless!
