Introduction to LiveViewNative for Cross-Platform Development

During his session, Brooklin Myers, an instructor at Dockyard Academy and host of The Elixir Newbie podcast, took the audience through his journey with LiveViewNative, providing insights into its application development for both iOS and Android. He discussed his process of learning and building with LiveViewNative while pointing out its potential for expanding the Elixir ecosystem into new platforms. Myers emphasized the combination of Elixir and LiveView to create cross-platform applications with feature parity between web and native. Throughout his talk, he shared practical advice, such as focusing on the core docs, and highlighted the importance of the internal team at Dockyard in pushing the project forward. Myers underscored the excitement around LiveViewNative's recent 0.1 release and its growing community, while also acknowledging the need for improved onboarding and cohesive documentation. By creating a Connect Four game called Mix Four, Myers demonstrated LiveViewNative's capabilities in leveraging OTP for player state monitoring, using PubSub for real-time multiplayer features, and shared how one can get started with LiveViewNative using Swift UI and Phoenix.
