When you use Absinthe, do you use the relay https://github.com/absinthe-graphql/absinthe_relay module as well? Even though there's no elm equivalent to relay, the relay module helps with pagination it looks like.. or did you do something else for pagination?
And are you using https://github.com/jahewson/elm-graphql for the frontend out of curiosity? Thanks!
