Reviewer scorecard
“Non-negotiable for any serious component library. Visual testing, docs, and interaction testing in one place.”
“Real-time UI without writing JavaScript. The BEAM VM handles millions of concurrent connections effortlessly.”
“The best way to browse and understand a design system. Addons for accessibility and responsive testing are invaluable.”
“Setup can be painful and builds are slow, but the alternative — no component isolation — is worse.”
“LiveView proves server-rendered real-time UI is viable. For CRUD apps with real-time needs, it eliminates the SPA.”
“Server-rendered real-time UI is the sleeper approach. LiveView, HTMX, and similar tools challenge SPA dominance.”
