Using database with it?

Did you have a look at the sample app https://github.com/elixir-desktop/desktop-example-app ?

It's using the new ecto_sqlite3 library which has good ecto support. Give it a try.

Apparently I missed the first sentence in the repo lol. That's really cool!

I saw that exqlite is also included in the runtimes for iOS and Android, so one can also use the full SQLite functionalities with iOS and Android builds right?

And by the way, if I want to expose the app via a port to a frontend on the desktop builds, this should be trivially achievable right? (The use case I mentioned was to run a separate frontend app also locally and have it connect to an API backend.) I can't imagine why it shouldn't, but would just like to make sure, since the example case mentioned in the READMEs use LiveView :)

Sure this works as well. You just have to signal the port somehow. In the Android and iOS builds the frontend is defacto another app and it's using environment variables to pass the port addresses.
