We're excited to help relaunch the Elixir community in the Ruhr area! Join us on Sept 25 in Bochum for the first Elixir Ruhr Meetup, part of Global Elixir Meetups Week.

[Elixir Ruhr @elixir_ruhr]

Our first Elixir Ruhr Meetup takes place on Sept 25 at @9elements in Bochum.
@dhoelzgen will introduce @AshFramework & Ash AI, followed by networking, drinks and food.

Proud to be part of the Global Elixir Meetups by @swmansion.

Daniel just released a more generic version of the MCP server, allowing Cursor to add up-to-date Ruby, Elixir, Python, and JS packages

[Daniel Hoelzgen @dhoelzgen]

Yesterday, I released a tiny MCP server that allows Cursor Editor to get up-to-date version information for external Hex dependencies.
@aviflombaum suggested doing a version for Rails, so I built a more generic version, supporting Ruby Gems, Hex, PyPI, and NPM

[Daniel Hoelzgen @dhoelzgen]

I am currently using @cursor_ai to build an #elixirlang Phoenix application. It kept adding outdated package versions, so I decided to build an MCP server to solve this issue.

For the past three years, we have worked collaboratively with UK agency Kore (https://t.co/2NOqMW1ZGF), helping the World Health Organization (WHO) to visualize global public health data on https://t.co/OuT6lYEK9Y.

I added a global filter to a #ElixirLang #Phoenix application, selectable via toggle in the menubar. I was surprised it is not too easy to store the value both in session, so it survives page reloads, but also in a way that it survives navigation within the same live_session.

We are currently revisiting our Rails stack and updating internal conventions. We would love to get your input on background processor options in Rails, primarily focused on projects using a Postgres database.

[Daniel Hoelzgen @dhoelzgen]

Ruby on Rails developers, what is your take on Sidekiq vs GoodJob vs Solid Queue?

Our go-to background processor was Sidekiq, mainly because it allowed excellent scaling and finetuning for heavy-weight applications.

But with Redis, it added an additional component to the projects' setup, so we tended to switch to GoodJob in case we only needed it for smaller amounts of tasks, like background email processing, etc, using the already present Postgres database.

With the recent release of Solid Queue, I am considering using it as a replacement for the cases in which we used GoodJob. Reading the excellent analysis in @andatki's blog post, I believe it is a good option. If you tune things like autovacuum configuration, it could also be for more heavy-use applications. Having a simpler infrastructure and being able to debug the queue with our default database toolset is a nice plus.

What do you think about this? I would love to know what you use in your projects and why.

9elements x EKu.SIM 🏙️ 🔥

In collaboration with EKu.SIM, we have designed and built a “district heating simulator”. This project is quite complex, so we decided to present the simulation in a playful and visually appealing way.

Built with #Astro #Svelte #TypeScript

On a landing page, we want to directly address potential customers and demonstrate personalized application areas for AI. Only a few lines of code, using customer detection from @SalesViewer and the @OpenAI API; see the example for an eyeglass company.

🎁 Our Head of #Web #Development , @supremebeing09 , wrote a pretty neat article on “Responsive SVGs” for "12 Days of Web".

This could be really useful for you #frontend #developers because #SVGs can be a bit tricky, you know! 😉

Exploring AI in creative workflows fascinates me. I used DALL-E for 20th-century-style god and goddess photos, added basic retouching, and upscaled with @Magnific_AI. Quite happy with the outcomes. Can you name all the deities?

Hey! 🤖Our Head of #web #development @supremebeing09 wrote a pretty neat #blog post about his exploration with #AI-generated #visuals Check it out 👇

[nils binder 🏳️‍🌈 @supremebeing09]

I've explored using AI in a targeted way, moving beyond randomly nice results to achieving a specific goal. Pleased with what I've managed to create using DALL-E, @Magnific_AI, and Photoshop. Details of my process and outcome are in my latest post.
