Delete files paragraph is asking to delete default generated code folders and files that do not exist.
Finally you can delete all the default generated code linked to the PageController:

rm test/liveview_chat_web/controllers/page_controller_test.exs
rm lib/liveview_chat_web/controllers/page_controller.ex
rm test/liveview_chat_web/views/page_view_test.exs
rm lib/liveview_chat_web/views/page_view.ex
rm -r lib/liveview_chat_web/templates/page

Todo

• Go through the tutorial and update to latest Phoenix + LiveView and
• Update the README.md accordingly
• Ensure that the deployment to Fly.io is working
• Wipe the DB so that we can clear the noise:

• Seed some real-looking chat into the Fly.io app to set the tone.

@SimonLab given that you've done the most work on this repo I wanted to give you the chance to make the updates. 👌

I have started working on an updated version of the tutorial. Would that be ok?

•  Using context instead of a plain schema for the messages, keeping the boundary in its context.
• Updating to use Tailwind with a two columns set (one for messages, one for presence)
• Delete views as they are no longer used
• Create components for messages

The changes are significant, so review will be hard. Let me know if you are ok with that. I will create a version in its own repo so you can decide if it is worth it.
