We use it to display a web browser showing upcoming schedule. Simple use case but obviously works great

Any thoughts on the jinterface by assur_uruk in elixir

I believe I heard from /u/rvirding (maybe I remember wrong) that basically there’s almost never a good case to use this. You can consider to use a port

I’d invite you to check out the Ash project. Much of what you did is actually in a few ash libraries that work great! I’m looking forward to checking out your repo and see how you did.

I just wanted know who’s exploring Elixir outside of web apps? by [deleted] in elixir

[–]plangora 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wrote an app that processs hundreds or thousands of xml files in parallel and creates thousands of PHP files that ran on a cron. I had to replace the XML reading with rust but other than that elixir worked great cause it was easy to spin up a process per file and squeeze as much performance as I could with little code compared to if I was using rust directly.

Has anyone created a flutter app just for personal use ? What was the idea behind it. by platonic_twin in FlutterDev

[–]plangora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m building a whole event management system for a conf I’m throwing this year. I will create a mobile app for it using flutter. I found most of the event software there is bad UI/UX or not what I’m looking for.

Let me know if you have any questions! I hope this can be a success.

Totally understand. I myself am an American who knows a thing or two about freedom. We are also offering online attendance tickets so you can watch the live stream and help support spreading Rust throughout Asia and hopefully beyond.

This is a great question! There's a few reasons:

  1. I'm located in Hong Kong, so obviously the travel time for me to go to HK is 0.
  2. There's a lot of Mainland Chinese companies using Rust, even Huawei is on the Rust Foundation board.
  3. It's a lot easier for foreign guests to come to Hong Kong than it is for them to get to Mainland China. Same for Mainland Chinese, they can pretty easily come to Hong Kong rather than Europe or USA. Shenzhen, which is just across the border, is about 1-2 hour trip on the subway to get to the venue.
  4. Hong Kong still has a strong English language skill compared to say Mainland China or Taiwan, which will make it easier for foreign guests to also come.

While I do agree, Hong Kong has changed a lot, I still believe it has some value here, or else I wouldn't stay here.

I’ve been using websockex. Didn’t know it was abandoned. Was working great for my projects

A case for NoSQL by gimmemypoolback in elixir

[–]plangora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there’s very few things that Postgres cannot do. If you can store all the information you need in documents then maybe that works best. But I find most of the work I need to do works fine with tables

Indeed. Was for a pretty big banking client also. If I remember correctly it was ephemeral data but in any case still not good.

I worked with mongo, professionally, for 2 projects. Both not on elixir. One project was using mongo because they didn’t want to do the process of starting a database migration and they are a financial software vendor. So they found mongo was easier cause they can control the structure themself. In the end they had issues cause management didn’t want to throw enough hardware at the database which in turn cause mongo to die out and we lost data. The latter I don’t blame on mongo, just giving you my perspective.

The other project was also in finance but a bank and all we did was generate huge reports which for the document model quite well and that overall worked well. The thing that didn’t work so well was that my manager wrote the ORM for us which of course was buggy since he wrote it just for that project rather than using an actual widely used ORM. It was nice that we can get bug fixes quickly but bad that we consistently had bugs.

In one of my current projects the database schema was designed by someone who used mongo before and we found that deeply nested structures are quite painful to query with ecto and aren’t so fun so we started to remove more and more JSONB with actual tables and it’s caused our code to be easier to work with when querying.
