meeting notes 2019 10 02

Discussion

1. Hosting: there are Elixir and Phoenix buildpacks for Heroku

   • elixir buildpack: https://github.com/HashNuke/heroku-buildpack-elixir

   • phoenix static buildpack: https://github.com/gjaldon/heroku-buildpack-phoenix-static

   • screencast: https://elixircasts.io/deploying-elixir-with-heroku

2. Data layer: Ecto appears to use PostgreSQL by default

   • Ecto: https://github.com/elixir-ecto/ecto

3. Design/styles: ???

   • Base goal: prioritize function and completeness over form and design

   • Reach goal: find a designer on the bench and ask for help?

   • details: There doesn't seem to be a consensus on CSS frameworks. Folks use Bootstrap, etc. Tachyons might be a good pick for Elm. Other options: https://hashnode.com/post/what-are-some-ui-frameworks-for-elm-lang-cj13d2fsi0050e7538d20cll6

4. Front-end: Heck, let's use Elm!

Future Topics
