The talk was exceptionally well delivered. The story line was carefully laid out and that attention to detail really paid off. The mix of "how it works in theory" and "this is how we applied" it worked really well for me. The amount of information on "how to think about X" was really good.

I think this was a nice talk on a great topic. It had nice inspirational pieces in it swapping with very informative parts.
Went a little over time so that's the only thing I can think of now.

Great opening key note!

I think this was a great intro to progressive web apps through service workers.

Content-wise I think it's fine. Maybe add some syntax highlighting for readability.
A full example at the end would be nice as well.

For the speaking part you seemed a bit nervous. Which is fine, nothing can be helped about that.
You breathing was a bit fast, probably due to the nervousness, might be something to look out for next time. As well as using stop words like Uhmmm. But great job! Fine-tune these small things and it will be as close to a 5 * as you can get :)

Very informative. Nice approach to first describe the current behavior to more confidently refactoring code. A bit dry, but that comes with the subject I gues.

Thanks Samantha, inspiring talk. You brought across in a nice way the responsibility we have as engineers (or those working closely with them) to use what skills/influence we have very wisely for the good of all. It was a bit long but I was engaged throughout as I can easily get taken along in a good story, and just had a cup of coffee.

Was nice to hear the history of the internet and our profession that wasn't about Berners-Lee, left feeling very inspired.

Learned a lot as someone with zero BDD or Behat experience. Clear talk. I liked how the focus was not just 'hah look at these cool tools!', but there was some backstory to illustrate the context and when/why you should (not) use them.

Personally I would have enjoyed watching some tests run live. It is a satisfying feeling ;)

All in all, good talk.

Thanks to the speaker, an Interesting introduction to PWA's. I think a stronger example app with code steps would help bring the talk together rather than just examples of how to interact. Looking forward to experimenting with this though.
