Why I’m asking

In the several months it took me to put the current series together, I learned a ton about what works well in Livebook.

My opinion is that the best content is a kind of tutorial style material that can be built up over time. This really plays to breaking up the code blocks with prose but still having them interact with what came before. It’s also great for folks who don’t yet know Elixir well and are leaning on the live evaluations to gain understanding.

Material that lends itself to visualizations, interactions, or animations also plays to Livebook’s strengths. It’s great to be able to run some code, observe the results, tweak, and rerun.

I hope to make several more Livebook guides and I welcome all the feedback you have about what you would like to see.

First Post!

Have any you voting for Interactive OTP read Elixir Patterns? It comes with some Livebooks. I would love to hear what you didn’t find in there and would still love to see.
