Time Tracker Live (Phoenix LiveView)

A primitive time tracker built as part of a creative microcycle project. This is an experiment in building functional software over perfect code, using Phoenix LiveView in a fullstack way, with minimal JavaScript.

📦 Features (MVP)

  • Start/stop a timer
  • Add a description to a task
  • Show a list of completed entries
  • Preserve timer state across browser sessions
  • Sync start/stop between multiple open browser windows
  • Session-level user differentiation (no login)

🔧 Under the Hood

  • Phoenix LiveView (Elixir)
  • GenServer for in-memory state
  • PubSub for real-time sync
  • cookie or localStorage for session ID

🎯 Development Goals

  • Explore fullstack development in a functional paradigm
  • Avoid premature optimization or visual polish
  • Build iteratively from general to specific

🚀 How to Run

# Clone the project
git clone https://github.com/your-username/time_tracker_live.git
cd time_tracker_live

# Install dependencies
mix deps.get

# Start the Phoenix server
mix phx.server

Then visit localhost:4000 in your browser.
