Re: Ask HN: Companies of one, what is your tech stack in 2024?

I'm also in the process of building a product mostly in Elixir with minimal JavaScript. I just completed the WorkOS integration, now putting more effort into the actual product itself which is a extended workforce management SaaS. What is your tech stack? Backend: Phoenix Frontend: Phoenix LiveView (with Preline UI) Database: PostgreSQL (I want to use neon.tech soon for tenant db isolation) Auth: WorkOS (for B2B SSO)…

Very cool, I have had my eyes on liveview since it came out but since what I am building is a heavy user of maps and client side functionality that will utilize offline support, liveview brings unfortunately pretty little to my table and would be impractical.

Besides I can get the same functionality for most of the app with Server Sent Events and EventEmitter in node even if it is a tiny bit more of a hassle. But since the SSE is a better protocol than Websockets (especially with http3) you also get benefits you can't get with Liveview such as stuff working when customers have Proxies or firewalls that block stuff that is not http.

I really like Elixir as a language and I think Phoenix Liveview is a game-changer and I can't fathom why more people don't use it that doesn't have the same client side requirements as myself.
