70: PardallMarkdown with Alfred Reinold Baudisch
Thinking Elixir Podcast
Are You Looking for Contributions or Involvement?
Alfred: "The Elixir development itself is quite mature. So basically implemented most of the features that I wanted" He says he needs help making a better HTML template for his demo project, Parlow Marked Out. Alfred: "If someone wants to help the project, you can just make like a HTML, a CSS template" Thinking Elixir will be back next week at 10 p.m. ET on CNN Tech.
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.
