Build your very own web framework in Elixir
summary
Shows how to roll a minimal web framework in Elixir that actually works: uses Plug Router and the Cowboy adapter for HTTP, renders templates compiled to functions via EEx.function_from_file, parses forms with Plug. Builds a small timeline CRUD app with an Agent-backed repo, cookie sessions (signed secret_key_base), redirects and static assets via Plug.Static, and demonstrates a working demo and repo to inspect.
