I create screencasts of topics in Ember, Phoenix and WebAssembly with Rust. My videos have been featured in Ember Weekly, Elixir newletters, retweeted by library authors (Tom Dale, the creator of Ember and Chris McCord the creator of Phoenix) and accumulated over a 100,000 views and 1,300 of subscribers.
When working with Firestore as our backend on a project, I had a lot of questions on how to write tests. Coming from an Elixir/Phoenix and Ruby on Rails background, I knew how I wanted to test, but didn't know how to do it with a cloud-based database. So I created a mock that allowed me to make assertions about my queries. I open-sourced it and now it gets around 10,000 downloads a week! See my blog post here for more details!
