In the news, we cover a new Livebook Desktop feature tease, a new daily bite-sized Elixir newsletter, Supabase's new Supavisor architecture, and Livebook joins the online Spawnfest competition as a sponsor. We also share a PSA about Alpine Docker image troubles with OTP 26 and an Ecto schema introspection tip. Elixir's errors get more helpful when modules aren't found, then a new Hex search tool was created and explained, and much more!
