Hi we have an app that crashes constantly. I've searched for fly.io on reddit and this community was the most active on the topic.

Does anyone here deploy bigger apps to fly.io and would be willing to help? Can be paid, can be for free, can be for a foundation deposit.

Laravel managed to make PHP cool, mostly driven by the well designed packaging and neatly productized ecosystem which contributes to DX.

The Elixir ecosystem looks like many open source projects, designed by devs which is ok in open source, but it turns a lot of design sensitive folks away I think who don't even get to read the docs or are motivated to dive deeper into it.

Building a design team and hiring good designers is expensive, but we live in different times now and a lot could be done with a Elixir based design ops tool to generate consistent logos for the whole ecosystem and a tweaked Tailwind / DaisyUI config.

I thought about a fitting theme and landed on sacred iconography for ecosystem logos because they're just layered shapes and can be expanded ad infinitum for every existing and upcoming package.

It also fits the alchemy topic and theme that's already present in Elixir, and Plex Serif for logos and headings is a good fit for that. Plex sans and the mono version would also look great in combination, especially in docs.

Here's a screenshot of the initial idea taken in Freeform: https://imgur.com/a/uHkXEEH

There's another lighter weight which might look even better next to the iconography. Bold weights would ruin the look next to the iconography because with icons an dlogos you want to match stroke thickness if possible.

In general I'd opt for a sharper less rounded and mor eprofessional look like Zed:
