Ask HN: So, what's up with Phoenix (web framework)?
After using Liveview it’s very hard for me to go back to normal full stack development, the separation between frontend and backend with some rest api seems so arbitrary to me. Especially with doing anything realtime, with your custom websocket protocols, sagas etc.<p>I’ve been consulting with a few startups and it’s crazy to see how much effort is duplicated and coordination needed even in cases where there’s no public api necessary.<p>ATM I’m working on a few side projects and I’m enjoying being able to build all of the functionality necessary alone without reaching for anything outside elixir+postgres.<p>The biggest issue is a pretty steep learning curve and lack of beginner friendly documentation, lots of tinkering and code reading is necessary when starting.
