bors-ng is a GitHub merge bot that enforces an “evergreen” main branch by queueing approved pull requests, testing them together on a staging branch, and only advancing main with the exact, passing commit set. Instead of maintainers repeatedly rebasing and merging one PR at a time, bors-ng batches r+-ed PRs, triggers your existing CI (e.g., GitHub Actions), and merges automatically when the batch is green. If a batch fails, it bisects the batch into smaller runs to isolate the culprit, landing the good PRs and kicking only the failing one(s) back for fixes. The bot is implemented as a GitHub App and works alongside—rather than replacing—your CI by reporting commit statuses/checks and acting on PR comments like bors r+ or bors try. It provides a dashboard to watch queue progress, uses separate staging/trying branches for merge/test cycles, and supports both public GitHub and GitHub Enterprise endpoints.

live_beats is an example Phoenix LiveView application developed by Fly.io to demonstrate real-time features and deployment workflows in modern Elixir web applications. It showcases how developers can build interactive, stateful web experiences without relying heavily on client-side JavaScript frameworks. The project streams live audio updates and visual feedback directly through WebSocket connections managed by LiveView, highlighting the power of Elixir’s concurrent architecture. In addition to real-time interactivity, live_beats demonstrates effective project structuring, deployment strategies, and integration with Fly.io’s cloud hosting platform. It serves as both a learning tool and a reference for best practices in LiveView development, covering topics such as state management, event handling, and distributed scalability. Designed for developers exploring Elixir and Phoenix, it provides a hands-on example of how to create responsive, dynamic web applications.
