Description
The chat tutorial listed for elixir is outdated. It uses a old version of phoenix and could be confusing to new users who would be learning a oudated set of syntax, application structure, commands i.e. mix phoenix.create vs. mix phx.create.
Also it's missing some steps. For one this they never do mix ecto.create without which the postgres database is not initialized so the app doesn't work.
I'm suggesting that the tutorial be removed or flagged to indicate it is outdated

Confirm whether the intended outcome is removal or an outdated warning, and consider the work done when the listing no longer presents obsolete instructions without qualification.
