about this talk
Web components are over a decade old and never went mainstream. Where they shine, where they fall short, and how they compare to framework workflows.
Web Components are over a decade old. Despite multiple waves of interest, they’ve never become the mainstream choice for building user interfaces - especially with the dominance of popular frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular. In this talk, I’ll share my journey exploring Web Components in 2025: where they shine, where they fall short, and how they compare to popular component development workflows. Whether you’re curious about using them in a design system or just wondering why they haven’t taken over, this is a practical look through a frontend developer’s lens.

about this talk
Can a modern TypeScript frontend ship without a build step? An experiment that strips the tooling away and looks again at today’s trade-offs.
Modern frontend development often relies on complex build steps and an ever-growing number of tools. What if we strip all of that away?
"Can we ship a modern TypeScript frontend app without a build step?"
In this talk, we'll experiment with that idea, rethink the trade-offs of today’s workflows, and hopefully learn something new from our experiment.

about this talk
New web platform APIs for performance (view transitions, speculation rules, Long Animation Frames) and lessons from tuning Next.js apps on cloud infrastructure.
In this talk Bart Kooijman will share his and the industry’s latest learnings, tips, and tricks about building highly performant web sites. He will discuss some of the latest web platform API’s focused on improving performance such as the transition API, speculation rules API and Long Animation Frames API (LoAF). He will also share some of his own findings when it comes to optimizing NextJS based web app performance and how it is influenced by cloud infrastructure.
