Thanks for the kind words! You're right about the offline-first benefits - that's definitely part of what will eventually be Hologram's local-first philosophy and it's on the roadmap ( https://hologram.page&#x2

Thanks for the kind words about the documentation! I'm glad it came across as clear - I put a lot of effort into making it accessible. You raise an excellent point about route conflicts. I'm actually thinking about detecting these

Thanks! I looked at the PageSpeed Insights report you linked. Apart from the bundle size (which will definitely be optimized) and bundles caching, other performance issues seem to be related to the page content itself - specifically some an

Yeah, it happened to my last submission too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44246672 (newsletter) - got zero upvotes after the rename. I was discouraged, but HN is too big a medium to just take offense and ignore.

The speed comes from Hologram's optimizations - efficient rendering, smart diffing, and just-in-time page prefetching. But it's really Elixir's fantastic primitives and metaprogramming that make this possible, enabling the en

Hey jamauro, good to see you here! :) Appreciate it. The offline work is going to be fun to implement - looking forward to seeing what kind of apps you create once that's ready!

Thanks! I completely did the same thing again - didn't explain what Hologram is. To be fair, the admins changed my title from "50x rendering speed improvements in Hologram (Elixir web framework)" to just "Hologram v0.5.0

That's odd - I've tested the site multiple times previously and consistently got LCP results between 0.12-0.40s on large pages, which I consider very good results. I just tested it again on a large page using the Google Chrome Per

Wasmex is an interesting project, but there's an important distinction to clarify: Wasmex isn't actually a compiler that would transpile Elixir to WASM. Instead, it's a bridge that allows you to call existing WASM modules fro

Yes, absolutely! Hologram can work on top of Phoenix and coexist peacefully with LiveView in the same app. You can have some routes handled by LiveView for server-rendered interactions, and other routes handled by Hologram for client-side i

The previous slowness was actually due to a temporary bitstring implementation we had in place. Now the full page renders at 60+ FPS, which is a massive improvement. And this is just the beginning - I'm working on component-level selec

re: "What are they exactly? Youve already mentioned distribution, but what else?" Here are the key advantages of web clients beyond distribution: Instant updates - Push a new version and every user gets it immediately. No app stor

I appreciate the perspective, but I think you're mischaracterizing what Hologram is about. We're not web developers who "can only code in web languages" - we're Elixir developers who've deliberately chosen Elix

I totally get the appeal of native development! But for many of us, we genuinely love coding in Elixir and want to use it everywhere we can. Elixir brings some incredible advantages: the Actor model for handling concurrency, fault tolerance

Phoenix LiveView is absolutely fantastic for many use cases and has been a game-changer for the Elixir ecosystem. I have tremendous respect for what the Phoenix team has built. The key difference with Hologram is that it transpiles Elixir c

Thanks for the interest! That's exactly the vision - having Elixir everywhere in the stack is incredibly powerful. I'm actually planning to expand Hologram beyond just web applications. The eventual goal is to make Hologram a cros

Hologram is essentially a competitor to LiveView. Here's the key difference: LiveView: Renders UI updates on the server and sends them to the client. Hologram: Transpiles your Elixir UI code to JavaScript that runs entirely in the brow

Hi everyone! I'm Bart, the creator of Hologram. First, I'd like to thank whoever shared Hologram on HackerNews. I appreciate the interest and discussion it generated :) I want to address some of the concerns raised in the comments

Hey Elixir community! First, I owe you all an apology. There's a running joke among my friends that Hologram is like nuclear fusion or fully autonomous Tesla cars - always "coming very soon™" . While I've been telling ma
