Talk comments

Excellent talk, in my top 3 for sure. Beautifully presented, with lots of real-life examples backed up by science and the way our brains work. Can't wait for the book to come out in English :)

Interesting talk that felt too short. Also, not enough data to support the approach, which is understandable since the whole library thing is implemented 2 weeks ago, but still - I would preferred more reasoning for choosing this approach, and also how they imagined it working IRL.

Interesting, could have gone into more detail.

Best talk of the whole conference, IMHO.

This is how you do a talk! You tell a story, provide new insights and learnings and then back it all up with examples. Absolutely brilliant!

Goran is a seasoned designer and a great speaker! This talk was again very nicely prepared and passionately delivered. But not so much well researched, IMHO. Some of the correlations, not to even speak about causalities, felt far-fetched at best.

Generalisations were immense and hard to agree with. A lot of criticism - mostly pointed towards millennials - but not much of it constructive, sadly. While I concurred with Goran that we should not aspire to make our designs "addictive" in any way, but rather useful and beneficial to our end users, no examples of possible solutions were offered.

Very solid talk! Sadly, nothing was really said about *debugging* communication. Mario spoke rather about principles and best practices for communicating, made some very good points and followed up with usable advice.

For people who knew all this (and more) already, more good examples of empty states would have been appreciated. Even more importantly, for those who needed to hear this gospel - the ones who knew nothing about empty states coming in - (more) valid reasons for investing time into this work would have been worthwhile hearing. But nevertheless, very solid work by Mihael.

Gabrijela's talk was so good that it was quite hard to believe this was her first conference talk ever! The topic was very interesting as well. There was some room for improvement, albeit not too much. In the design world, we are always interested in outcomes and benefits, both for the user and the business, and that wasn't touched on in the talk. Give that some more thought, and you'll have a wonderful presentation! Well done!
