Wortwildnis.de V2 powered by Ash
I built V2 of https://wortwildnis.de using Ash and decided to open-source the codebase. This was a steep learning curve but worth every step.
We have more than 40k terms available. I initially built this because I found out mundmische.de was down and I wanted to share a resource with my partner to look up German colloquial terms. I salvaged the content from archive.org in January. The site grew to 400 WAU. On top of that geldata is shutting down and I wanted to have more interactivity / curation capabilities on the site, so I decided to do a rebuild.
With no prior Elixir or Ash knowledge I am more than very pleased with the outcome. I make use of pubsub, trigram search, policies and then some. My conclusion this will be my default stack for web projects going forward.
I am very sure I do a few things that aren't exactly idiomatic, but perhaps this is useful as a reference.

The application is hosted on a Hetzner VPS running Dokploy behind Cloudflare. This is also another superpower I picked up. Deployments are ultra fast.
