Alexandre Minette shares his adventures with LiveView as he builds a personal finance tracking application. We cover his use of hooks to integrate Javascript libraries that give him the UX he wants. He shares some tips and resources for finding Javascript libraries that work well with LiveView.

We also get his perspective on using Flutter for Mobile development and where he thinks it fits with web technologies like LiveView.
