Show HN: Royal Pointing - a pointing tool built with Elixir/Liveview/TailwindCSS

Hi HN! I have built a scrum pointing/estimate tool with Elixir, Phoenix Liveview, and TailwindCSS. Also deployed it with fly.io.

My main objective is to learn Liveview and create tools for myself. This one is exactly that. Our team was using a scrum/poker pointing tool online, but sometimes it got slow and frustrating.

While learning Liveview, I thought it would be fairly simple to implement an app like this. Indeed it was.

    Also, Today I Learned the meaning of tailwind: wind blowing in the same direction as the path of a ship or aircraft.

    I didn't learn if because of TailwindCSS, but while reading The Millionaire Fastlane. Either way, I have used TailwindCSS for this project (with Flowbite help) and it indeed is a wind blowing you in the same direction of you finishing your designs.

    To be honest, both Liveview and TailwindCSS were a wind blowing in the same direction of finishing this product.

    I am happy with the result so far, I have more ideas to implement, but I believe the MVP is usable and very useful.

    It requires no login/email to create a room and start voting (this is a feature).

    Please do give me feedback and tell me if you enjoy it.
