Talk comments
Fantastic talk. I would have liked a bit more variety in the examples but nevertheless it was a very complete talk that covered an amazing amount of ground in 50 minutes. Well done!
Loved the presentation and the overall flow. It was. Very engaging, and great useful information.
Great talk with a lot of good examples and clear code
THANK YOU for demystifying this! Really loved the breakdown of something that is frequently painful.
This was a great talk! Super entertaining and informative.
(Maybe add a Doctrine hydration example slide)
I’d like to make every manager and people team member in my company see this presentation.
Ben gave an excellent introduction on building a Composer package, and his template is truly invaluable. It simplifies the process of setting up a Composer package immensely, with many state-of-the-art tools pre-installed and ready to use. Well done!
I found the five-minute breakdance intro video to be a bit off-putting—it felt somewhat out of place.
When discussing why customers want mobile apps, the most common reason I’ve heard was missing: customers want to see their name in app stores. While this can’t be achieved with PWAs, it can be addressed with hybrid apps. However, Capacitor was notably missing from the discussion, while Cordova—nearly as obsolete as PhoneGap—was mentioned, which was surprising.
From my team’s experience, offline functionality in PWAs is feasible for read-only operations, but supporting write actions (like POST requests) can be challenging. Topics like these weren’t addressed. Generally, to handle offline POST requests, you need to store data locally and manage modifications to the offline state stored in the app, which can quickly become complex.
Overall, for a talk aimed at covering PWAs, the content felt quite surface-level. But maybe I was expecting too much, sorry.
Great talk, good vibes and good use of the stage. I liked the content, one thing that might be good to touch on is maintenance and versioning
Speaker was fairly clear, yet while the background info was interesting I did not come away from the talk with a feeling of knowing what htmx is or does; nor specifically how or in what contexts it would be useful. The talk ended just 25 minutes in, so I wonder if maybe there was a disconnect between the speaker's expectations and the event scheduling.
