Hologram is a full-stack, isomorphic Elixir web framework for building interactive web applications entirely in Elixir. It compiles client-side Elixir code to JavaScript and can be used on top of Phoenix.
The framework provides a declarative component system for creating reusable user interfaces without relying on a JavaScript framework. Client-side actions handle interface state and interactions, while server-side commands provide access to databases, external APIs and other backend services.
This is free and open source software.
