Phoenix creator here. I'm happy to answer any questions about this! Also worth noting that phoenix.new is a global Elixir cluster that spans the planet. If you sign up in Australia, you get an IDE and agent placed in Sydney.

I know it's early days, but here's a must-have wish list for me:

- ability to run locally somehow. I have my own IDE, tools etc. Browser IDEs are definitely not something I use willingly.

- ability to get all code, and deploy it myself, anywhere

Edit: forgot to add. I like that every video in Elixir/Phoenix space is the spiritual successor to "15-minute rails blog" from 20 year ago. No marketing bullshit, just people actually using the stuff they build.

You can push and pull code to and from local desktop already: hamburger menu => copy git clone/copy git push.

You could also have it use GitHub and do PRs for a codex/devin style workflows. Running phoenix.new itself locally isn't something we're planning, but opening the runtime for SSH access is high on our list. Then you could do remote ssh access with local vscode or whatever.

So no plans to open the source code?

For sure. I'm just hesitant to recommend sending one's codebase to a server running code I can't inspect. I suppose that's the status quo with LLM's these days, though.
