Success with Phoenix
I've rewritten this year's Brewfest website using an old design I liked on top of Phoenix. Phoenix is an MVC framework, like Rails, but for Elixir. The rewrite has been interesting.
The design requirements include displaying a single-page website that describes the Brewfest, while capturing information from brewers about themselves and the beer they plan to bring to the fest to share. I wanted the "login" to be extremely simple so that brewers didn't need to go through a whole enrollment process. The information they enter should also go through an editorial process before anyof it is published to the site. Some nice-to-have features include displaying ticket sales information/graphs, and the ability to edit the single-page site content from an administrative area on the site (protected by a preset http-authenticated login).
