Like Elm itself, the constraints seem a positive not a negative.Īnother thing I like is that I have been following the “single file till you really need it” approach… and that is working well. I won’t lie, it’s still ugly black text on white background (my Perl heritage showing?)… but that is me not the language or package.Įlm-ui for me is great as modern CSS is complicated and I find Elm-ui easy, simple and sensible. In this app I decided also to experiment with the Elm-UI package which brings all your layout into Elm and prevents having to do CSS magic!Įlm-UI worked pretty well I really like the ideas in elm-ui and not having to worry about CSS and to have a design system to hand. So, it was a good opportunity to explore subscriptions in Elm. This app required “time”, specifically a countdown timer. This time I decided to build something more practical a timer app for the 1-2-4-All way of meeting facilitation ( ). In the previous post I built a simple toy that displayed SVG. I have been wanting to learn Elm for a while and as I mentioned in an earlier post ( ) I have managed on the third attempt to do so.
