Todo

Update the following Phoenix Examples to 1.4:

• Chat: https://github.com/dwyl/phoenix-chat-example > see: #12 and #13 (code changes required)
• Encryption: https://github.com/dwyl/phoenix-ecto-encryption-example
• Append-only: https://github.com/dwyl/phoenix-ecto-append-only-log-example

There shouldn't be much to change/update, we just need to run through each example using 1.4 and confirm that everything still works as expected.

@SimonLab yesterday you mentioned that you were considering looking at the encryption and append-only log examples to refresh your Phoenix knowledge (after having done 4 months on a Node.js project) 🙄

Please pick one of those and go through it using Phoenix 1.4.
Please make any necessary updates to the guide to make it 1.4-compatible.
I have done this for the Chat example: dwyl/phoenix-chat-example#12 + dwyl/phoenix-chat-example#13
only a handful of updates were required.
