WeUseElixir is a curated directory of apps, libraries and companies that use the Elixir programming language.

A few years ago I was introduced to Elixir. It was the first functional programming language I'd ever used. I became a huge fan of the language and the community.

I've now used Elixir in a variety of different projects both professional and personal. It's become my go-to language for building web applications. It is just fun to work with.

I created WeUseElixir as a way to increase awareness of the Elixir language and how it's being used. WeUseElixir provides a place for creators to share their projects and allows others to discover new and interesting projects.

I use it for many side projects, and I am starting to use it for bigger ones too.

Should we submit personal projects and smaller side projects, or is this for fully fledged app only?

Also, should we add know open source applications such as Plausible[1]?

I am always happy to see Elixir and Erlang hit the front page.

Just personal opinion, I would get a lot of value out of having open source projects on there like plausible. I'm fact that might be the most useful thing personally

There are open source projects on the site, such as Oban and Absinthe. Is that what you’re looking for or did you mean something else?

Yes to all of the above. The goal is to share as much as possible what people are doing with Elixir.

Same here, using Elixir only for personal/hobby projects. Sadly, my customers when they hear about Elixir they get scared as hell. The "song" they love includes only JS, Java, C#, or Python.

Nice! There’s also this[0] project run by community /elixir-school[1] maintainers [0]https://elixir-companies.com/en [1]https://elixirschool.com/en

A big thank you to everyone for the interest, the suggestions and for the many submissions. Thank you!
