Building Real-Time Applications with Phoenix LiveView

Phoenix LiveView has revolutionized how we build interactive web applications in Elixir. In this post, I’ll share some insights from building this very chat system.

Key benefits of LiveView:

1. Real-time updates without complex JavaScript
2. Server-rendered HTML with minimal client-side code
3. Excellent development experience

The chat system you see here demonstrates Phoenix PubSub in action, allowing multiple users to communicate in real-time with minimal complexity.
