[Absinthe](https://absinthe-graphql.org/) is an open source implementation of the GraphQL server specification for Elixir. Note that I said "Elixir" there and now "Phoenix". Absinthe doesn't need Phoenix, but we're going to use it in this example because my guess is that not many people are making purely GraphQL services and most of us are probably bolting it on to existing sites or services.
We're going to build a really simple Phoenix application called `faces` which can import a user's name and avatar from GitHub and display a list on a web page.
