#13The homepage design is nice, and I think anonymous chat is fun too. Even though the programming topic probably has a pretty clear target audience, I'm surprised that kind of hateful chat still shows up.

#16The chat is still there in the corner of this post, with people typing nasty shit into it. Well have fun delving into programmatic censorship I guess. Or just take it out.

#20TL;DR: this is a toy example, so it doesn't require BEAM VM Hard to take this seriously without the loadtest with the the large number of concurrent users. For a number of users concurrently reading a long-tail blog post - you will get good results even using DotCom era HTTP polling. --- See: Django LiveView vs Phoenix LiveView: a real benchmark https://en.andros.dev/blog/80134668/django-liveview-vs-phoen...
What is there to take seriously? Sending a ~50 bytes to ~200 listeners over a websocket about once a second is trivial even for a Raspberry Pi.
