113: Livebook Desktop

Livebook Desktop is a recent project that makes it much easier for people to start using Elixir and Livebook. Wojtek Mach joins us to explain what Livebook Desktop is and how it works. We learn who the project is for and the problems it helps solve. We ask if this approach makes sense for other projects and how to get started. Wojtek also shares some cool things in the works that make it possible to load our own Phoenix project into a Livebook!
