A great guest post by Sophie DeBenedetto about building a LiveView powered chat app inspired by Slack. It uses LiveView’s new Streams feature and Sophie walks us through creating our of chat app with features like infinite scroll back, editing a message, deleting a message, and appending new message to the bottom. It’s slick and efficient, not storing any of that data in the LiveView.
