70: PardallMarkdown with Alfred Reinold Baudisch
Thinking Elixir Podcast
Elixir 1.13 - Developer Tooling
Elixir 1.13 was covered by Jose Valim in his conference talk. The big takeaway with Elixir 1.13 is it's all about developer tooling. So these introduce modules like code.fragment and functions like container cursor to quoted. LiveBook gets its own website, sponsored by our friends over at fly.io.
After a big news section, we talk with Alfred Reinold Baudisch about his project PardallMarkdown. It's a reactive Elixir server that reads markdown files, compiles them to HTML, stores them in an ETS table, and serves them up. It's a different take on serving markdown files for a blog. It can also be used as a wiki and supports deeply nested hierarchies. An interesting feature is it can be used as a library inside your own Phoenix application to provide blog posts or other "static" content.
