I’ve spent some time over the past few weeks putting this little project together. It’s a realtime multiplayer fridge magnet poetry experience built with LiveView, Ash and a little JS (just hooks!).

I’m working on putting together a video walkthrough of the design choices and how I go about building code like this, but it’s still WIP (never made a screencast before!). That said, I tried to structure the commits into atomic chunks, so if you checkout any commit, you should be able to see the state of the project at that point and how I evolved it over time.

There are some cool Elixir tricks in here (hashing terms to HSL color space! Atomic counters for online presence!) but I want to show off how easy it is to get super slick realtime multiplayer experiences going in Elixir

The code is available here:
