There have been numerous remarkable new UX experiences developed over the years, such as cards displaying an array of products and clickable list items with dynamic menu options, among others. However, only a few are aware of the challenges involved in building structures with nested interactive elements, and unfortunately, some of them are completely inaccessible.  In today's talk, we will explore some of these prevalent web UX patterns and delve into the hidden challenges they present. While we may be able to mitigate some of these issues, others serve as cautionary tales in accessibility.

The ever-expanding landscape of JavaScript applications has now reached the big screen - yes, you heard it right, you can build TV apps with JavaScript!  The TV operating space is a mess; there’s more fragmentation than the Android ecosystem, and that’s saying something. Each manufacturer has tried to reinvent the wheel by making their own OS. At the moment, the main players are Android TV, tvOS, WebOS, Tizen, among a whole myriad of others.  This makes it a unique place where Javascript and web technologies can become a uniting factor and save you from the stress of trying to develop and maintain handfuls of apps for the big screen.  We’ll talk about how to build TV apps, what JS frameworks can help in this, and explore the challenges that come hand-in-hand with TV app development, namely performance bottlenecks and focus management using remote controls.

The design-development gap hurts your React projects: slower timelines, compromised quality, and repetitive handoffs. This talk explores the origins of this problem, the differences in language and environment, and offers solutions through processes, tools, and collaboration. Discover how including designers throughout the implementation process helps developers reduce friction, speed updevelopment, and deliver exceptional UIs.

At Canva, we help 150 million + monthly users create and design. How do we enable developers to do the same? Intro Canva's Apps SDK, which is built to empower developers to efficiently create UIs for their Canva Apps using React. Canva recently streamlined the app creation process by compiling some of the most frequently used and requested UI components by our developers in our @Canva /app-ui-kit package. I'll be sharing how we iterated upon our Apps SDK to empower developers globally to build their brand into Canva.
