I'm curious about the ones you like for Elixir! I've been looking for a bit and haven't found one that seems to be maintained and close to feature parity with Django admin

jon1628492on Back-end languages are coming to the front-end

A question from a newcomer to the ecosystem: do you have any recommendations for an admin system like Django's? On a related note, how do you usually determine whether a package is abandoned vs stable?

Or alternatively,

jon1628492on Django, HTMX and Alpine.js: Modern websites, JavaScript optional

I'm new to htmx and alpine, but isn't alpine's global store what you'd want in this case? https://alpinejs.dev/magics/store

Which grocery stores? I live in Austin.

At H-E-B you must pay for the thicker bags at $.24/ea, which incentivizes people to bring their own. I bring the same ones every time now.

At Central Market, Wheatsville & Whole Foods they give you paper bags.

Not sure about Randalls or Sprouts though

jon1628492on Show HN: Discover and listen to artists performing in your city this week

This looks pretty nice! But I’m curious how you match the artist up to Spotify; for instance, Whitney (https://open.spotify.com/artist/32aUoW94mJ7xTJI7fG0V1G) is playing in Austin this week but you link to Whitney Houston (https://open.spotify.com/artist/6XpaIBNiVzIetEPCWDvAFP).

That being said I like it and could see myself using this!

jon1628492on Show HN: Beatnik – Streaming Music Sharing

I thought the same thing. Any plans for a similar feature with the iOS share sheet?

e.g. Share this Apple Music song -> Beatnik -> send to friend with Spotify
