DevConf.IN '18

In case of open source products, the ‘usability’ gets defined by itself. While others struggle to find and interview genuine users of their products, there's a huge pool of stakeholders we know as ‘community’, who are also the actual users of the tools/products, always available to share their valuable inputs and talk about their individual perspectives at their own will.
What a team of UX researchers and usability testers could probably miss addressing sitting in isolation in a glass room, can hardly go unseen when there's a huge community involvement. All we need to do as experience designers are shift our focus, from crafting to listening, because everything is already being talked about.

This is introductory talk about the JS Authentication, where Viral will discuss about the role that Auth0 authentication plays in modern software development where it is a lot more than just the login screen.

For open source organizations, with thousands of contributors over the time, having a consistent set of user interface elements is a challenge. React offers a solution by allowing us to build custom reusable UI components library. Using react-storybook, we can have an isolated testing ground with documentation.

As a Google summer of code student, I recently led the initiative to lead the design overhaul of 17 year old MusicBrainz website. MusicBrainz is one of the biggest open music encyclopediae. What tools did we use? What challenges did we face? How did we overcome them? How did it help designers and developers collaborate? How can you build a design system for yourself? I will present a step-by-step game plan to build it for your organization in this talk :)

In this session, we will learn about browser extensions. Browser Extensions are simply developed with Javascript.

The website development has changed significantly in last few years and with people moving towards Mobile age we are continuously working on a solution which will provide best user experience no matter how the user is accessing the data.

In this talk, I will share my learning of how we can move towards building an offline first app to provide the better user experience.

Ever wanted to develop Native mobile apps but couldn’t find the time to learn new languages? Or, you tried Hybrid app development but were not happy with the performance? NativeScript is here to offer you the best of Hybrid and Native development workflow. With NativeScript, you are already a Mobile app developer! You will get a development experience which is similar to the web, while still getting a Native mobile app as the end result. You will learn how you can reuse the things you learnt as a web developer, to build native mobile apps.

I will be dealing with the coding and inner working of WebXR and how it will function to create a magical world.

In this proposed session, I’d talk and teach the fundamentals of web accessibility in order to help designers and developers create an accessible web and app experience for people with disabilities.

The end goals of the session:

•    Familiarize designers & developers with the concept and fundamentals of web accessibility. (Also known as "a11y")

•    Teach and equip attendees with the technical & functional aspects of web accessibility for web and app.

•    Enable designers & developers create an accessible and inclusive User Experience (UX) for all users regardless of their physical, cognitive, and social capabilities.
