Version number is hardcoded

Good idea Bobby - for this task, let's just document down the release steps (maybe in RELEASE.md?) and then we can close this one up

Hmm, I don't think there's an easy way around this. I've looked into high profile Elixir projects (Phoenix, Credo, Distillery, HTTPoison), and none of them used automated solutions.

There are some prior art from the JS world: version isn't required at build time, so some projects like Docusaurus don't set this. I also recall some automated versioning solution that simply set it to "0.0.0-automated" or similar, it's automatically set before publishing to npm and isn't committed to the repo.

I can do some hack with something like this, but I'm not sure if it's worth it.

For now I'll remember to make a "bump" commit just before every tag push.
