Talks
Turning a CSS Carousel into a Theme Switcher by Christian “Schepp” Schaefer
Modern CSS has quietly become capable of managing interaction and state — without touching HTML or JavaScript. In this talk, I’ll show how I turned scroll markers, scroll-driven animations and style queries into a fully functional theme switcher. Along the way, we’ll misuse the <head> element, fail with :has(), and explore how far CSS can be pushed before things get weird (or wonderful).
The TL;DR to Design System Governance by David Wieland
Maturing, scaling and governing a corporate design system is no joke. Especially if the corporate is mostly leaving it alone. In this lightning talk I’m sharing seven actionable findings I wish I knew two years ago that turned the ABN AMRO design system into an industry standard.
Bringing About Innovation in the Digital Development of Museum Websites by Len Verstijnen and Sander Vanheste
Small museums don’t have the funds to develop tailor-made websites. In our urge to help them, we made a platform that encapsulates the common functionality but provides totally different looking websites. Creating a traditional white-label platform was simply not going to be enough to realise our vision, though.
Scannable Squares: Lines, Dots, and Disasters by Rowdy Rabouw
From Morse code in sand to a revolution born in a Japanese car factory, scannable tech has a secret history of genius and absurdity. Let’s have a look at how these lines and squares actually work, why they refuse to die, and what happens when humans try to get creative with them.
CSS is DOOMed by Niels Leenheer
I built DOOM in CSS. Every wall, floor, barrel, and imp is a <div>, positioned in 3D space using CSS transforms.
