...I'm still alive and plugging away at BeerRiot code. I thought you all might just like to hear that despite the fact that I haven't made a post here in a while, or updated the news section on the site, development is far from dead. There are things in the works, and I hope they will be ready soon.
But, I'm running into the oldest code-project slow-down in the book.[1] New code is making me rethink old code. Especially since I was much more of an Erlang amateur at the start of this project, my old code often looks ugly now. So, since my new code is doing very similar things to some of the oldest code here, I'm reworking the old stuff - mainly to avoid duplication, of course, but also because I understand the domain better now.
Unfortunately for you, the user, I'm still having quite a fun time slinging Erlang around, so it's hard for me to just say, "Enough - post it!" But, I think I've defined the final goals, and the web of changes is starting to contract. The updates should happen soon (probably within a week), and then there will be lots of new toys to play with. :)
[1] Okay, so actually, there are older slowdowns in the book, but I ran into them too (that is, real life has demanded extra attention recently). But I think there's a lull in them for a while, so things should progess faster now. ⤣
