Abracadabra: The Vanishing Network

Today's Talk covers the importance of building Asynchronous UX with React and single-page applications, providing code and UX examples. It explores data fetching, adding progress indicators, handling errors, and user-initiated actions. The Talk also discusses handling component unmounts, multiple actions, idempotency, and context loss. Finally, it touches on considerations for optimistic updates and the use of CRDT or other technologies for collaborative applications.

This talk is about animations in React Native, specifically focusing on React Native Reanimated. It covers the use of interpolations and extrapolations in animations, animating items in a carousel or list, sticky elements and interpolation, and fluidity and layout animations. The talk provides valuable tips and tricks for creating performant animations and explores the use of math formulas for natural movements.

Daphne uses Remix for their web application, benefiting from its resilience, error boundaries, cache boundaries, and progressive enhancement. Remix simplifies form submission, authorization, and validation, and allows for easier refactoring and code duplication avoidance. Next and Remix are used together, with Remix serving as the backend for the frontend and handling data aggregation. Remix provides query functions for fetching data, mutations for form data validation and API calls, and custom conventions using the handle export. Migrating to Remix resulted in smaller JavaScript files, faster navigation, and the ability to preload data and assets. The migration process took around nine months and involved mixing Next.js and Remix using Express. Hiring someone to work on Remix is easier than hiring for other frameworks.

Animations can enhance the user experience and provide context in interface design. Using frame and motion in React can create smooth fade-in effects and improve navigation. Optimistic updates and instant comment appearance can eliminate waiting time and improve user experience. Motion can be used in multiple ways to give context and enhance user experience. Accessibility and performance should be considered when implementing animations. Choosing the right library, such as frame of motion or React Spring, can simplify animation implementation. Animations can enhance perceived performance and influence users' perception of speed.

This is a background jobs one-on-one talk focusing on the challenges and benefits of using background jobs in software development. It explores the complexity of software development and the impact of distributed applications. The talk highlights the use of Ingest as a reliable solution for executing functions in the background and building drip campaigns. It emphasizes the importance of reliability and architectural choices in software development and discusses the features and capabilities of Ingest, including local development, handling failures, and data retrieval.

Today's Talk discusses software performance and optimizing the frontend for the user. It emphasizes the importance of passive performance, which is a subjective measure of how well users perceive the application's performance. Techniques to improve performance include using a shared cache, HTTP2, preloading requests, and CDN. Optimizing frontend performance involves avoiding blocking the main thread, loading necessary resources first, using progress bars, and implementing optimistic patterns. It also highlights the importance of considering users' changing expectations throughout their interaction with the application.
