Indy Elixir Meetup

Phoenix LiveView—a new library that enables real-time interactivity without the need for custom JavaScript—has been generating a lot of excitement in the Elixir and Phoenix community. And that includes Indy Elixir! Join us on May 7 to learn more about LiveView and how you can start using it. And as always, we'll have pizza and raffle off digital copies of some awesome Elixir books from Manning Publications.

Mitch Hanberg will talk about refactoring an interface component from JavaScript/AJAX to LiveView to enable real-time updates.

Eric Oestrich recently screencasted about using LiveView to add a live player count to his online game network, https://grapevine.haus/ He'll share more about how he did it.

Have you had a chance to try out LiveView? Come share what you've been working on!
