I tried Phoenix LiveView recently and it feels really refreshing. In comparison to Svelte (my preferred tool usually) it feels oddly similar like it occupies the same idea with a completely different execution.

I personally prefer JS over Elixir and having everything in one language also makes everything easier... maybe there is also a future to fuse some of these concepts into Svelte (I will have to experiment :D )

I want to use Elixir more for my side projects but it's honestly really easy to get going with services like Vercel or Netlify and SvelteKit. Also coming from Next.js and SvelteKit, I got kind of used to the file-based routing and it creates some friction for me when trying to use Phoenix.

I want to contribute some sort of guide to the community for people coming from JS metaframeworks, rather than Rails/MVC frameworks, but I feel like I need to use Phoenix more first. I'm just about finished with Sophie and Bruce's book!

I'd highly recommend Pragmatic Studio's Phoenix LiveView Course - https://pragmaticstudio.com/phoenix-liveview

I wrote LiveViewJS while taking this course believe it or not.

Hi flessner - I am a big Svelte fan myself! (And prefer JS/TS over Elixir.) Would love to see what you come up with in terms of fusing LiveViewJS / Svelte concepts. LMK if I can be helpful.
