Metaframeworks: you're probably using one already and may or may not love the experience - but what if I told you they aren’t rocket science?In this talk, we’re ditching the buzzwords and over-complication to build one from scratch—yes, you heard that right.Armed with Vite, Vinxi, Nitro, a pinch of vanilla JavaScript, and a healthy dose of curiosity, we’ll piece together the routing, rendering, and all the essentials you’ve been letting metaframeworks handle for you.Expect aa crash course in understanding the tech you use every day. By the end, you might just be asking: Should I just roll one myself? Aand no, you shouldn't. But it's sure fun building one and understanding what makes them tick, no?

Do you love standards but hatehatehate the DX of web components? Me too.

As a reformed skeptic of Web Components due to my DX concerns, I encountered an interesting challenge at SuperTokens: creating a UI library that supports all the frameworks and remains future-proof. After some research, I discovered that SolidJS compiles to Web Components, offering a familiar, React-like developer experience - exactly what was needed to convert me into a believer. After a couple of rounds of experimentation, I fell in love with web components.

This talk will share insights from our journey towards adopting Web Components for our next-gen authentication UI library at SuperTokens and why web components are a great idea that's here to stay.
