I used Nerves for a hobby project. A "smart" recycling bin which uses a camera to recognise recycling labels and open the lid of the appropriate bin. It was so much fun building it! Hooking a phoenix + LiveView backend was painless and straightforward.

I don't care that it's not the most efficient framework or not suited for industrial stuff, it does drive my creativity and brings me joy.

Would love to see how you built this and maybe do it myself, if you are open to writing about it or open sourcing the code.
