Ya I did build a little app that used Rethink changefeeds with Phoenix channels! I never ended up writing a post mostly because I’ve been swamped with school and work (in addition to being a bit burnt out). In order for changefeeds and channels to be useful you’d need to write some type of abstraction layer that interprets the changefeed output as its not as straightforward as it seems. I know Peter Hamilton (the RethinkDB driver author) has done some work in this area so I’ll need to check out what he’s done and revisit my example app before I publish anything. Thanks for the reminder though! I need to play with that stuff a little more…
