Bringing LiveView to the Client with Popcorn

Talkat ElixirConf EU 2026 · 2026-04-23..04-24· [frontend-architecture]
slides:none on file

Popcorn runs Elixir on the browser via Atom VM and WebAssembly so Phoenix LiveView code executes client‑side, claiming sub‑millisecond interaction and offline behavior; the proof shows a forms demo where shutting down the server keeps validation and local state and later reconnects to sync assigns to a server mirror process (conflict resolution via handle_sync). The AtomVM bundle is ~11 MB (5 MB compressed), a mix generator produces the local subproject, and the feature is working but not production ready.
