Adopt Elixir PETAL technology stack
Adopt
The PETAL stack is a popular combination of frameworks and libraries that have proven to be very powerful and flexible. It consists of:
- Phoenix: Leading web framework for Elixir.
- Elixir: Elixir server-side rendering code.
- Tailwind: CSS framework to mark up HTML with semantic classes.
- Alpine: Minimal framework for composing JS behaviours in markup.
- Liveview: Real-time UX with server-rendered HTML.
Elixir and Phoenix Liveview were already part of the stack. Tailwind was a great experience in migration from Bootstrap for fedi.foundation and is intuitive to use for non-CSS experts.
