Oh, great, I'm glad to have the LiveBeats app source available to browse now! LiveView is so interesting, but also so different from what I'm used to, that I often find myself feeling like a novice again wondering where to put files and how things are supposed to work. I've been using LiveBook as a resource, but it's kind of a crazy app that might not be reflective of normal use.
With esbuild and tailwind as easy to install hex libraries, and phoenix_live_view 0.17's new JS module, you can get pretty far without having to get into npm at all! And of course, if you need to use, e.g., react, you can always start using it and the full npm ecosystem like the "bad old days", but it's nice to not have to reach for it immediately.
edit: Having just now watched the video, I'm pretty blown away! Very cool, and very impressive that you can do this without a full-on SPA.
