Elixir and the Erlang BEAM are still so underrated pieces of technologies.

Many of today's software challenges could be built on this platform in a simple, clean way.

I'm currently working on a side project as well (hope to be able to open source it soon). Not a big project, but the platform and ecosystem offer all the moving parts and with relatively little code, you'll have a robust system up and running in no time.

Still love to work with this language and ecosystem 🧡
Little project I‘m working on:

„Mempool Monitor“ 👀

Monitors current #Bitcoin  fee rates, notifies you if configurable thresholds are crossed.

Nice for when you want to know when is a good time to manage your UTXOs.

Not yet live, but would be nice to get early feedback.

How does it work?

1. You’ll configure lower/upper threshold of sat/vB

2. You‘ll get messages:
- low fees: fee < lower threshold
- in range: lower < fee < upper
- high fees: fee > upper threshold

Current MVP would send you a #nostr DM.

Works and was easy to add.

However, Nostr clients won’t notify you reliably in time, it seems so far.

I‘m open for other potential notification channels.

One could also be a more technical one: calling a Webhook of your service.

This would open up future uses cases, like executing scripts on your side.

Let me know what you think.

I hope I‘ll be able to get an MVP version online in the coming week(s).

The basic setup and service already works (alpha, but the screenshot is not faked 😊).

UI is completely missing, though.
