I need to develop some small frontend for internal use at my company and I have absolute freedom over the tech stack.<p>I decided to take this opportunity to learn Elixir.<p>The requirements of this project are very simple. I's a server which fetches some data from another HTTP API and uses it to render a bunch of HTML pages.<p>I'm following the Elixir tutorials on the official site. I would like at the same time to explore a real-world project that implements my requirements, to see what a complete working application would look like.<p>Do you know of any such open source repo?
Thank you!
It’s not an existing site, but any of the ‘make a blog in 15 min’ tutorials [1] will get you to working code examples quickly. The Elixir build utility `mix` has great tools for creating new projects and the example project will scale easily into what you want to try. Also, GenServer’s are a good way to retrieve _and_ cache the data from the other http server, following the KV supervisor tutorial would be a good starting point.<p>1: <a href="https://medium.com/@kacpx123/phoenix-1-3-simple-blog-api-and-postman-tests-b7fadd3394ab" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/@kacpx123/phoenix-1-3-simple-blog-api-and...</a>

The only one I can think of is the changelog podcast site <a href="https://github.com/thechangelog/changelog.com" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/thechangelog/changelog.com</a> I haven't read the source but I imagine it would cover your usecase.
