Issue #91

This week in Elixir

Elixir's Library Guidelines
The Elixir team finally published these guidelines for library authors. Thanks to all the contributors!

Public Database of Elixir Security Vulnerabilities
The fine folks from Dependabot needed a database of security advisories for Elixir packages, but none existed, so they created this repo. All data is 100% public domain!

Get Your Elixir/Phoenix Performance Metrics in Chrome Dev Tools
Bring Phoenix server-side performance metrics to Chrome’s Developer Tools and other browsers (that support the W3C's Server Timing API).

Writing Elixir Stubs for Better Testing

Sooner or later, as your Elixir codebase grows, you’re going to hit a point in your tests where you need to avoid running a particular function.

A Simple Notification System Using Phoenix PubSub and pg_notify

Questions & Answers

Can I submit things I made to be included in the next issue?

Yes! Simply post them to ElixirStatus and you can be sure that they land on my radar.

Is my email address safe with you?

Yes. I'd like to consider myself a trustworthy individual, but then who doesn't?

I am, however, an active member of the open-source Elixir community and the maintainer of Credo and ElixirStatus. I will NOT ruin my reputation by selling your data to a third party.

Why do you require me to confirm my email address?

I just believe that requiring double opt-in to subscribe to any email-based system is a win for both parties: You are safe from unintentionally subscribing and I can be confident that you actually own the email address and want to receive the newsletter I send you :)
