Thanks for the support, Jonatan! Good to know the work resonates. Appreciate you spreading the word too 💜
Seeking Sustainable Sponsorship
Hi Elixir friends,
After 3 years on Hologram full-time (transpiles Elixir to the browser), I'm at a crossroads.
60+ hr weeks balancing contracts & dev isn't sustainable.
Where we are & how you can help: hologram.page/blog/seeking...
Even sharing helps 💜

Elixir → JavaScript Porting Initiative
Hey Elixir friends! :)
We need help completing Elixir's browser runtime by porting some Erlang functions to JavaScript.
No Erlang knowledge required. Each function unlocks multiple Elixir stdlib functions!

Great idea! Squash and stretch would make it way more dynamic. The beauty of Hologram is you can handle all that animation logic right in Elixir - scaling the ball based on velocity, adjusting the shape on collision, etc. You should totally give it a try and see what you can create!
Absolutely! Game development is definitely one of the exciting possibilities with Hologram :)
They'd need to be rewritten for Hologram's template system since it's not compatible with Phoenix LiveView templates. But the design patterns could definitely carry over.
Hey Shahryar! No, Phoenix components don't work since Hologram has its own template system called "Holo". But Hologram will have its official UI components library to help devs get up to speed really fast!
Thank you Petar! :)
Hey Elixir family, process spawners, fault-tolerant friends! 😉

Hey Elixir friends! :) Have you seen physics animations written in pure Elixir running in the browser?
Hologram v0.6.0 (full-stack Elixir framework) is here! ✨

Plot twist: As your desktop background, I've been watching you work this whole time. Your 2pm snack choices are questionable but I don't judge.
Hey Albert! :) I can see the problem and the solution... Can we move the conversation to Hologram forum? The answer will be visible to others and it's easier for me to add code snippets there elixirforum.com/hologram
Update: The first issue of the monthly Hologram newsletter has just been sent out!
If you subscribed, be sure to check your email inbox (and spam folder just in case).
New subscribers are always welcome for future updates! :)
A user reported that the installation instructions were outdated after v0.5.0 removed redundant endpoint integration (which was simplified). If you’re getting errors during setup, just remove the use Hologram.Endpoint and hologram_socket/0 lines from your endpoint module and you should be good to go
Correct! Hologram runs everything client-side, but new pages are fetched from the server. Best of both worlds - fast UI interactions in the browser, server-side rendering for navigation. All in Elixir! It's technically possible to bundle multiple pages as well.
Let me know if you need any help with the session implementation! :)
With sessions, you can store user data through a command using put_session/3 and then fetch it with get_session/3 in page or layout init/3. Data persists across page navigations unlike React Context. Future client-side store coming too!
Good news: I just released v0.5.0 with session (cookie-based) support! Perfect for your auth use case. Check it out: hologram.page/docs/session
You're absolutely right! This is expected behavior because Hologram is a Multi-Page Application (MPA), not SPA. When you navigate, it fetches the new page from server and re-renders everything, including your layout context.
