If you have an iOS phone you can create a shortcut on your home screen that jumps directly to the code in the Amazon app. Whole Foods app may have the Shortcuts integration too, but I use the Amazon app.

This was done previously with the `short_maps` library, which the author—a member of the Elixir core team—eventually retired and archived due to regrets from the undesirable impacts on clarity.

Elixir puts some guardrails on its numbered-argument anonymous function syntax, which I think do a good job of restricting its use to defining extremely simple functions.
1. The function has to use all of its arguments at least once. You can’t do `&(&2)`, because it skips the first argument.
2. Single-expression. You can’t do something like `&(x = &1; x + 1)`.
3. No nesting. You can’t define an additional anonymous function inside of a & expression, or even use a `&SomeModule.some_fn/arity` capture. For anonymous functions with nesting, you have to use the `fn arg1, arg2, ... -> body end` syntax.
I work on a team building an application that displays real-time predictions/service alerts and other stuff on various types of strictly non-interactive screens posted around the MBTA’s* bus and rapid transit network.
Like others in the comments, we use a pretty straightforward architecture—our backend is written in Elixir and the frontend is rendered as a webpage with HTML/TypeScript/SCSS. We also use AWS Polly for on-demand readouts of the same content. The client periodically requests new data from the server—no web sockets involved for now.
The kiosk part is pretty basic; most of the interesting problems we face are related to the fact that we support a large variety of screen types/formats and need to strictly adhere to ADA guidelines (for both type size and audio equivalence). Screen types include solar-powered e-ink, portrait mode 1080p LCD, twin side-by-side portrait LCDs, and a set of screens owned by an ad vendor, on which our content appears in a rotation alongside ads.
Here’s the algorithm of the game’s letter marking system, based on my experience reproducing its logic for a script I wrote that computes remaining words from your guesses and their corresponding marks.
Suppose the target word is “polar” and you guess “banal”.
A submitted word is marked in 3 passes.
0. Initial state: (“banal”, “polar”)
1. Zip together the letters of the guess and target words, and loop through the zipped list. When both letters at a position are the same, replace the guess letter with the symbol for “correct” (green) and remove the target letter from the target word. State: (“banGl”, “polr”)
2. Loop through the target word’s letters, replacing the first occurrence (if any) of each one in the guess word with the symbol for “present” (yellow). State: (“banGY”, “polr”)
3. Replace any remaining letters in the guess word with the symbol for “not present” (black). State: (“BBBGY”, “polr”)
Return the marked guess word.

Other examples:
0. (“mamma”, “amaze”)
1. (“mamma”, “amaze”)
2. (“YYmmY”, “amaze”)
3. (“YYBBY”, “amaze”)

0. (“nieto”, “otoño”)
1. (“nietG”, “otoñ”)
2. (“nieYG”, “otoñ”)
3. (“BBBYG”, “otoñ”)
