For all of my new side projects I am all in on Phoenix live view. I couldn’t be happier, you can write web apps quickly and it is super reliable. It’s probably not the best choice for every project, but for now it lets me do a lot as a solo dev who has maybe 30 minutes to an hour free a day to code side/personal projects.

My personal project that has the most use is https://readastorytome.com/. Almost all of the problems/bugs I have with it are to do with my implementation of webrtc and pdf.js. Liveview has been the source of very few problems.

And tinylivechat.com is a WIP that is also using Phoenix live view but I am debating killing it



Why are you debating killing it? Is it not making any money, or is it too much to maintain?


It’s not making any money or being used yet (wip) and I have not had much time to work on it recently.

It’s been a great project to work on though. I have had to think about how I to handle a lot of issues that come with web chat widgets, like how and when you alert your customer they have a new message or how to create an embeddable widget.

Another possibility is I will just make it open source.
