Talk comments
A good idea, but not explained very well. He kept scrolling up and down through the code like he was too shy to show it.
A longer time-slot and deeper explanation would have been beneficial.
If you must use animated GIFs, by all means, do. But their time on the screen is no more than two loops. You can't have an animated gif spinning like mad in the background while you talk: nobody will have that, and it's distracting like hell!
A good overview of what is possible with node.js and some open source libraries, plus chromium, to build a "desktop webapp".
He didn't mention the main drawbacks of this approach ("binary" size, possible npm modules conflicts, performance, etc.)
TBD is a good description.
This community *needs* this kind of reminders, now and then.
More now, than then.
This talk required math background, so it could be a bit scary. But having that, it was fully enjoyable, really well presented, and it managed to transform a complex topic, which I could never fully grasp, into something I finally understood. Made my day.
