Today, we feature a very special and juicy episode. On the one hand, we have a long overdue guest: Brian Cardarella, CEO of DockYard. Also, we will be talking fresh news and insider knowledge about one of DockYard's big projects: LiveView Native.

We will discuss the philosophy of open-source software development, the importance of facilitating early adoption (even for junior developers!), documentation, teaching materials, and, of course, solving the main challenges that developers face when tackling projects that need to be deployed in the multi-screened landscape of today.

Will LiveView Native be the next big addition to the Elixir ecosystem? After years of hard work and a considerable investment, we are confident it will. Version 0.2 is just around the corner!
