This Week in Elixir and Erlang #2

I'll start this week's series with a shameless self-plug. I have recently built and released an alpha version of my first Phoenix LiveView app 🎉. I had been looking for a use case to demonstrate LiveView for quite some time, and finally found it as part of a simple, but compelling online challenge - AROUNDAWORLD.
The goal is simple: help humanity "walk" the distance of the Earth (yes, the whole 40,075 km) from the comfort of your home. A simple mouse move will drive the crowd forward. The end goal is ambitious, but we can totally reach it, if we work together. 2020 has been a year of distrust and loss of faith. I hope that my simple contribution will help to bring some of it back.
Thanks for checking it out! Now, back to the links and news.

There's a dozen Elixir job postings on HN who's hiring this month. A couple specifically call out LiveView, which is fun to see :)

I just released Redix v1.0.0 https://t.co/cWeoFAnKkz. First commit 5 years ago, first big project in Elixir, few rewrites, north of 4M downloads on Hex. What a ride 🎢 Enjoy and have fun finding ALL THE BUGS now that we're on 1.0 😅
