Authentic Pixels
Digital goods shop & blog created using Phoenix Framework (Elixir)
This is the source code for my new website - Authentic Pixels. Through Authentic Pixels, I plan to deliver high quality free & premium web resources including Bootstrap HTML templates, startup landing pages, UI kits, mockups & themes for Ghost & Wordpress.
Demo & Screenshots

Here are some screenshots of the admin area.
This project has been a great learning experience for me. Coming from Ruby on Rails, there are a lot of things that are done differently in Elixir/Phoenix and building this app has helped me understand the "Elixir way" of doing things.
Some of the things that this project helped me wrap my head around are -
- Nested records & associations (e.g: Product has many variants)
- Handling many-to-many associations and validating them
- Uploading images
- Testing
- Switching to Webpack from Brunch
- Creating Sitemaps and running a cron task to regularly run the sitemap generation task
- Deploying (to a Digital Ocean box using Dokku)
- Sending HTML emails.
- Separating admin area from frontend using differnt layouts and scopes in
router.ex
I will be writing about this is a lot more detail on my blog soon.
