    I've been working on a puzzle game Quilt. Hope to get the demo out this coming week or next week. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4760970/Quilt/

    Can recommend Odin[0] if you want to play with Raylib. Great for prototyping, although I'm not sure if it will last further on in development. Still have to figure that one out. [0…

    You use UTC which doesn't adjust daylight savings.

    I was just referring to how pipes make these kinds of chained function calls more readable. But on your point, I think using Date.now() is perfectly ok.

    In Elixir this would be written as: db.getUsers() |> getExpiredUsers(Date.now()) |> generateExpiryEmails() |> email.bulkSend() I think Elixir hits the nail on the head when it come…

    That's a really cool concept, I'd love to see more art like this that uses modern technology. Do you have a demo available somewhere to see what the effect would look like? This is…

    Something like https://github.com/mrdotb/live_react might be what you're looking for.

    https://backpex.live/ is a pretty good Phoenix Admin. Django's admin is still unmatched though.

    Does this allow external programs/servers to interact with a workbook (xlsx file)? Or is this just to run more complex calculations inside cell(s)? There's UNO and there's also ope…

    Memory is actually shared in Elixir until it's required to create new memory because of a change. So even if you have a big dictionary and something changes, part of the dictionary…

    I'm generally very pro EU, but this anti-encryption stuff they try to pull these last couple of years needs to stop. If it's proven that Pavel Durov is facilitating bad actors with…

    Customer validation is also super easy to get. The easiest way I've found is to include a simple Google Form in the product. It's super rewarding to get feedback from users. Ask si…

    You can still use LiveView/Phoenix/Elixir, but have your game logic be in Gleam. I haven't used it though so I could be wrong here. A little bit more about it here: https://katafra…

    That's true. And another downside is that once you're in the Svelte environment you can't use your Phoenix components inside those Svelte components. I've thought about adding a li…

    It's a little bit different from generals.io but the points you mention are very valid. I originally started working on it as a showcase of LiveSvelte + I like generals.io a lot an…

    Definitely possible. Tick rate isn't the problem, Elixir is very performant. Just the predictive elements are an issue if you're working with 2 different languages. I'd go with Gle…

    That's what I did with: https://territoriez.io/ It's a clone of https://generals.io/ It's built with LiveSvelte. It doesn't need any predictive features as it's basically a board g…

    Out of the box, they don't work offline. But there's recently been a project showing it's possible to create a PWA with CRDT's and LiveSvelte: https://github.com/tonydangblog/livev…

    With hooks you are able to render your html server side while still having some js functionality. Technically you can also render server side with LiveSvelte as it supports SSR out…

    If you work with more than 1 person on a project, commit messages can be very useful during reviews. Sometimes a change sets up a later change, and you need context on why the chan…
