That's one of the goals of Firefly[1]

Hello friend, I'm chasing you down from a previous comment, did you get anywhere with that elixir/liveview text ui ?

I did not. Too busy at work.

I am still very keen on this, even if its not a 'web app' style tui code. There has also been interest on genserver.social too.

Shouldn’t be necessary if you configure your release to start in interactive move instead of embedded mode as modules would then get loaded lazily
