A First Look at "LiveViewJS" on influential JS Youtube stream

Ryan Carniato (creator of SolidJS) holds popular weekly streams where he dives deep into latest advances in frontend frameworks, occasionally with the creator/core team.

This week’s stream was with the creator of LiveViewJS (I know, quite confusing/odd name choice) which is a port of Phoenix Liveview to NodeJS/Deno.

Overall, stream went well and it’s great to see more implementations and awareness of Liveview in general spreading and getting positive reception in different communities.

That said, this being NodeJS, much of the power that makes Phoenix Liveview unique building on top of Phoenix channels and Erlang VM could not be showcased on the stream, which would have addressed questions some folks had around scalability and other misconceptions about maintaining stateful connections.

If any of the LiveView core team are interested in doing a Phoenix-specific stream, feel free to shoot Ryan (https://twitter.com/RyanCarniato) a DM, he did seem open to something like that (@chrismccord gets mentioned toward the end of the pairing session) and he has done streams on frameworks in non-JS languages like Rust before
