I saw this and thought, if this doesn't get me to give it a go, nothing will.
Less than 45 minutes after signing up for fly.io, I have a multi-room tic tac toe game deployed.
https://tic-tac-toe-cyber.fly.dev/
I had it build the game, opting for a single room at first to see if that worked. Then I had it add multiple rooms on a different git branch in case that didn't work. It worked great.
I learned very little about elixir, phoenix, or deploying to fly.io up to this point, and I already have a nice looking app deployed and running.
I know a lot of devs will hate that this is possible, and it is up to me now to look at the steps it took to create this and really understand what is happening, which are broken down extremely simply for me...
I will do this because I want to learn. I bet a lot of people won't bother to do that. But those people never would have had apps in the first place and now they can. If they are creating fun experiences and not banking apps, I think that is still great.
You guys have been releasing amazing things for years only to be poorly replicated in other languages years later.. but you really outdid yourselves here.
I'm blown away.
edit: is there a way to see how much of my credits were used by building this?
