Hi lbrito!

The site is a Phoenix app (Elixir's popular web framework) with PostgreSQL. The pages are just Phoenix templates and I let Cowboy, the default HTTP server for Phoenix, serve the app directly... so it's not sitting behind NGINX or any similar web server that's frequently used as a reverse proxy.

I used Bulma as for the CSS, just to try something I haven't used before.

The only line of JS is in the dropdown menu's onChange tag, to submit the "form" when you select a book category.

I like the UI on En Passant! Really clean - great use of icons so I know what the media type is at a glance as I scroll.
