- Yes, I think elixir is capable of doing this, server and client. Only if you want to have some command line tool for user interaction, I’d fall back into another language and let it talk via a unix-socket (or even a REST-API) to the elixir part.
- This idea sounds more like “presentation” of data available else where. I think elixir is capable of creating an app that “hosts” and “serves” this data, perhaps rendering it into static HTML, but that level of user interaction you describe is more in the domain of JavaScript talking back to the server. Perhaps you can abstract parts of it away using drab, but I’m pretty sure, knowing JavaScript will help you with this.
