What is tilex?
Tilex is a Today I Learned (TIL) platform built in Elixir that enables teams to catalog and share knowledge as it accumulates day-to-day. It features concise posts limited to 200 words to encourage focused, digestible insights and supports controlled collaboration through flexible authentication. Originally developed internally at Hashrocket, it was open-sourced to provide insight into development processes and allow community experimentation.
Development teams and organizations looking to implement a structured, internal knowledge-sharing platform for capturing daily technical learnings. It's particularly suited for teams using Elixir who want a self-hosted solution with AI integration capabilities.
Developers choose Tilex for its simplicity, practicality, and focus on capturing fleeting insights in a lightweight manner. Its unique selling points include AI-powered post creation via MCP servers, flexible authentication with domain restrictions, and being production-ready with comprehensive deployment guides.
