Algora TV is an open source Elixir/Phoenix application developed by Algora.io that powers Live Billboards—a platform for embedding in-video ads during livestreams. The project enables developers to monetize their live content while providing devtools companies a dynamic and non-intrusive way to reach audiences in real time. Built on top of the Phoenix framework, it leverages Elixir’s concurrency and scalability to handle streaming, ad management, and user interactions seamlessly. The system integrates with GitHub for authentication and uses Tigris for media storage and delivery, with optional support for services like FFmpeg, ImageMagick, and OBS Studio for livestream testing and video processing. The repository includes all setup instructions, from environment configuration to database initialization, making it accessible for developers to self-host or experiment locally.

live_beats is an example Phoenix LiveView application developed by Fly.io to demonstrate real-time features and deployment workflows in modern Elixir web applications. It showcases how developers can build interactive, stateful web experiences without relying heavily on client-side JavaScript frameworks. The project streams live audio updates and visual feedback directly through WebSocket connections managed by LiveView, highlighting the power of Elixir’s concurrent architecture. In addition to real-time interactivity, live_beats demonstrates effective project structuring, deployment strategies, and integration with Fly.io’s cloud hosting platform. It serves as both a learning tool and a reference for best practices in LiveView development, covering topics such as state management, event handling, and distributed scalability. Designed for developers exploring Elixir and Phoenix, it provides a hands-on example of how to create responsive, dynamic web applications.
