Very cool. Are you using just cowboy as a server or do you have nginx/Apache in front?
nginx is in front, but it's just doing a proxy and setting some headers, so effectively cowboy's serving everything. So far it's doing a great job too, CPU is at 2%, 1Gb free ram of the 4Gb available, and a pretty constant 1Mbps outward, on the 20$/m digital ocean droplet. I may have jinxed it by saying this though.

That would let us serve stuff like version information and links to the latest version, without the fear that somebody is going to reverse engineer our app and replace the data with something malicious.
We, as the app author, would have the full key, so we could read and write, whereas users would have nothing but the hash.
The HTML of the frontend is messed up ( is duplicated)

What language is this? I visited https://www.phoenixframework.org/ and even watched a few minutes of a video but there's no mention of the programming language. I suppose the language is called Phoenix?

That's a cool idea, I'd definitely like to add the ability to create a little store with more safety, and that totally works with the goal of simplicity. I'll give it a shot.
