#UX UI

This talk focuses on the powerful features of CSS and HTML that can level up developer skills and enhance web UI. Scroll-driven animations, popover API, and anchor positioning are explored as ways to create dynamic effects, improve performance, and increase accessibility. The talk also emphasizes the benefits of building presentations with CSS and HTML, separating logic from styling, and leveraging core platform features. Wishlist features for the web platform and the challenges of pushing updates across browsers are discussed.

Nested Interactive Elements in Nightmare Accessibility can cause issues with screen readers and other assistive tools, making it difficult for users to interact with websites. Mitigation strategies include unnesting elements, using CSS overlay, and being cautious when modifying roles. It is recommended to involve users of assistive tools in focus groups and share solutions online.

JavaScript is widely used in web, mobile, and backend development, and now it is also being used to create TV apps. TVs with web-based operating systems can be targeted with JavaScript applications, and React is commonly used for TV app development. React Native allows for cross-platform TV app development, except for Roku. User interactions and focus management are important considerations in TV app development. Performance optimization is crucial for TV apps, as TVs have lower device scores and limited RAM. Spatial virtualization can significantly improve TV app performance.

Being technically included leads to better results and UIs. Incorporating multiple team members comes with challenges and compromises. The evolution of tools and technologies has standardized industry practices. Closing the gap between developers and designers requires collaboration and a common source of truth. Embracing change and building trust can improve collaboration between developers and designers.
