"Home Sweet Home" - Building React Web Apps with a Native Feel
Decades of UI/UX design evolution have resulted in certain conventions being established and widespread in native apps. Web developers with no native background tend to break those conventions. This talk will explore some of the commonly broken conventions on both desktop and mobile; and explain how to easily fix them within React.
Conor Lamb
Building a Devtool Saas in 2025: A Design Ride-along
Join Conor on a magical walk through a devtools Saas build with a cutting edge Next.js stack. He will discuss the different routes, design decisions, and tools considered and hopefully teach you some new things and invite you to challenge the choices he made.
Akif Abasov
Migration Story: Non-Breaking Frontend Evolution
Migrating a large-scale frontend application is never easy — especially when your team is mostly backend developers and your legacy stack includes Kotlin/JS. In this talk, I’ll share how we’re gradually moving CodeCanvas to a simpler, more accessible TypeScript + React setup. I’ll focus on the strategy behind the migration — step-by-step, non-breaking, and aligned with the team’s strengths — and how AI helped us accelerate some parts of the process.
