The Project

ElixirSV.org is a dynamic web application built with Phoenix LiveView for the San Salvador Global Elixir Meetup (GEM). The project serves as both a promotional platform for introducing Elixir to the local tech community in El Salvador and a practical demonstration of modern Elixir web development capabilities.

Key Features

  • Live Streaming Integration: Real-time streaming capabilities for virtual meetup participation
  • Interactive UI: Dynamic typing animations and responsive design elements
  • Real-time Updates: Leverages LiveView for seamless user interactions without page refreshes
  • Global Connectivity: Connects local developers with the worldwide Elixir community
  • Event Management: Comprehensive event information and registration system
  • Responsive Design: Optimized for all devices with modern CSS animations

Technologies Used

  • Elixir: Functional programming language known for fault tolerance and concurrency
  • Phoenix Framework: Modern web framework for productive development
