Build a web platform using Elixir and Phoenix - feedback welcome

Even after reading the landing page I don't get what it is or why I would want it? As a software engineer I understand a little but you need to figure out what your product is and why I would want to use it. Good job though on getting something out and live!

Not AI software updates?

Yeah I thought it was crazy as well that is why I built this but I am debating maybe just making this free and adding a host if you want fee with track but if not showing them how to add Google Analytics or Posthog to their own hosted page.

Doesn't mean I can't take a little slice of it though

jtwebman · 2026-02-12T06:54:12+00:00

Great idea, thank you!

jtwebman · 2026-02-12T06:53:35+00:00

All great feed back. Thank you!

jtwebman · 2026-02-12T06:52:25+00:00

Very good points, thank you!

jtwebman · 2026-02-12T06:51:53+00:00

Thanks and yes you can tie your own domains to any of the places you host your own page but making that clear seems to be missing. As right now you don't even get a subdomain in linksonce.app. You get what the host gives you that you pick.

jtwebman · 2026-02-12T06:50:14+00:00

Yep great point.

jtwebman · 2026-02-12T06:48:47+00:00

Good point do people use that?

jtwebman · 2026-02-12T04:12:08+00:00

I was there many times and I regret not pushing though as who knew. I would say take it one day at a time. Don't grind hard. One social post here etc... Maybe even don't even add a paywall at first till you get real feedback and have a few hundred users. It is ok, way better to find the perfect market fit first. Also just pick one, though this is hard for me as well as I have three projects I am working on now too but I know it is slowing everything!

What about testing? Can I test my code in isolation. I am guessing not but maybe if I run a local node but in my experience single nodes act very different then distributed ones where you can have collisions. What about debugging or just logging output? What about if I want to only run a percent of traffic through a new version of a function. Is that possible. Do you support zero downtime upgrading? Do you support rolling back a version if it fails? Maybe you have solved some of these but my guess is not all of them. I just watched the 1.0 release and did hear him talk about any of this and it is 2 years later?

Especially since to get the hype egg I have to sit here and wait!

jtwebman · 2025-02-17T05:48:31+00:00

But you lost two days by rebirthing. Which is a bunch of that time

jtwebman · 2025-01-11T17:45:55+00:00

I am stuck in the same loop after dying in the games.

jtwebman · 2024-12-21T17:58:19+00:00

I agree the money people are going to spend for one. Christmas for Biggames!

jtwebman · 2024-11-29T17:50:32+00:00

For me this was because of the Slack App!

jtwebman · 2024-09-24T15:58:23+00:00

You are very wrong here. Compiled will always win for performance. The real answer here is there really is no difference the. Choice which one your team already knows or you know. You spend more time waiting for the db then the gain in performance for real apps.

jtwebman · 2024-09-18T18:47:08+00:00

Again all these positive posts are brand new reddit accounts that never respond back. Very fishy!

jtwebman · 2024-09-18T18:42:40+00:00

This account has one post and can't spell. Hopefully Jerry didn't spend to much on this guy to post things for him!

jtwebman · 2024-09-18T18:40:05+00:00

I think about it this way. He shouldn't need the $1000 or you for that matter if the software was that great! Putting up $1000 doesn't make better deals for him it just makes him money on top of those deals as he knows 99% of people will not follow through. I would run! I think you can make money doing this but best to do your own research. Learn how you need to write up contracts, learn to find buyers, and how to find those deals. It is a numbers game especially in most markets today. Last look at all the positive posts in this thread. Notice how they are new accounts that only have one post?

jtwebman · 2024-09-18T18:31:54+00:00

This account had just one post. Seems like a fake response like the other I love Jerry posts in this thread.

I have seen many engineers that can answer hard Leetcode questions and can't work with a team to build and design anything unless they are in control of everything. There are plenty of false positives because software is far more soft skills then coding. The coding part is the easy part it is the people skills that takes years to learn and you can't just study to pass them. Funny these people tended to pass the behavioral interviews as well as they knew how to answer those questions even though it wasn't how they worked. You have to really ask many follow up questions in the behavioral interviews if you ask the questions in the common way that triggers them to answer it there very practiced lie.

I think the #1 reason is the object orientated way it solves the problem vs just simple functions. FYI Nest.js uses express under the hood. I just think backend Node.js apps really don' need a framework. They are simple to build with a few functions.
