LLM / agent era brought myself back to Elm, finally (no runtime errors, beautiful readable code, awesome compiler errors, stable language…). I love to see that Elm is still there and I see enough activity on important community packages.
What resources would you suggest to follow for elm-related work in 2026? Or recent examples to follow?
I don’t think this is some kind of “best practice” but since you mentioned LLM and elm-pages in the same post…
I have found that making a site with elm-pages and AI coding agents works very well. If you have an existing site or elm-pages starter project, they can quite easily figure out how to do things.
I like elm-css, and tend to use Css.Global for most of my CSS, for example. I use it like we used to use compass in the old days, as a sort of better compass that is a functional language instead of whatever hacky internal language compass built in.
elm-tailwind-classes will probably work very well too.
I used pencil.dev to develop some screenshots - it comes with and MCP server. But also, I think Google Sketch might be a better supported tool to use for this and also has MCP server. I was able to make requests like “add the whatever page from pencil to the project”, and it did all the work to add the new page to the elm-pages project using exactly the right coding patterns and so on.
