Awesome. I’m a huge Scrimba fan and have referred a bunch of friends. Great work

yeah so I'm seeing a ton of "(Postgrex.Error) FATAL 53300 (too_many_connections) remaining connection slots are reserved for non-replication superuser connections", which I'm guessing means the pool size is too small? Although I've tried upping that, CPU, and memory, and none have seemed to fix it. My devops skills still aren't great so if anyone has any ideas on how to help, let me know!

This might be a good opportunity to change the server to try out fly.io

Damn! Sorry about that. I’m upping the servers right now. Can’t wait to hear the end of this inspirational tale :)

I built a satirical social network called shlinkedin. It started as a way for me to learn elixir and make fun of thought leadership with my roommate, and has gradually gotten bigger. It’s all open source and a ton of fun to work on. Everyone is an alter ego (think Beff Jezos or Office Spider), and it’s hilarious to see how much people commit to the characters they create. And I can’t say enough good things about working with elixir / phoenix liveview. Definitely a steep learning curve for me (I’d never used a functional language before), but payoff is huge.

Amazing :)

Ok cool, I will make this easier ASAP! In the meantime we also accept snail mail and telegram.

This is pretty much exactly how it works! But I would say I had no problems combining tailwind with liveview. I do wish my HTML was cleaner but from a technical perspective there were no problems.

Thank you thank you :) I have spent an embarrassing amount of time on this and I can’t stop. It might be a problem.

Within the site it’s all user generated!

For the content generator, it’s a state of the art GPT3 markov chain, also known as a mad lib: https://github.com/cbh123/shlinked/blob/main/lib/shlinkedin/....

I can close it for you — just email me charlie@shlinkedin.com. Sorry that it’s manual right now, I haven’t gotten around to adding a button. I’ll put it on my list to add this weekend!

This is functional!

Unfortunately you have to make a profile right now before you can see a profile page, but I have a PR in the works to fix that. I made the silly decision to have the home page require a bunch of dynamic information about the logged in user to render the page, so I'm working on making it so an anonymous user can see everything too. Should be done soon!

ShlinkMail me, we can make it happen :)

Wow so cool to see this here! I’m the co-creator of this and happy to answer any and all questions. Shlinkedin is definitely a bizarre passion of mine so it’s awesome to see it resonate - turns out a lot of people find a lot LinkedIn ridiculous :)

This has also been a good excuse to learn Elixir/ Liveview. I’ve made all the code open source if anyone wants to take a look!
