Join me on my journey of creating the Next.js WordPress-like Plugin System, an experiment that enhances Next.js applications by allowing easy installation and customization of plugins for features like Google Analytics, Social Login, and E-commerce. I'll showcase the unique features of the file-based plugin system, such as persistent storage per plugin, registration of components, routes, and functions, and a cross-plugin event system. The talk also shares the story of how and why I solved this problem to make developers' lives easier.

In this talk, I will introduce gluestack-style, a high-performing CSS-in-JS library for React and React Native. Unlike other libraries, gluestack-style calculates styles during compile-time using a babel-plugin, resulting in reduced processing during runtime. This allows pages created with gluestack-style to even run without JavaScript on the client, including media queries. I will explain why dank differs from React Native Web and other CSS-in-JS libraries and why it can be a complementary tool for developers looking for a streamlined and flexible solution for managing styles in their projects.

How can we have one codebase for mobile and web when both of them have different APIs and behavior? Sanket covered the behavioral and technical differences between web and mobile platforms.

Accessibility shouldn't be a choice that developers should make. It should go without asking. Syncing states, adding the support of screen readers and keyboard interactions can be cumbersome. My team and I have built a set of React hooks that make it easy to build accessible React Native and Web components that complies with the WAI-ARIA standards. It's an adoption of React Aria (by Adobe) in React Native for mobile platforms. The web support is also enabled using React Native Web to make universal components that are accessible by default on all the platforms. We call it React Native Aria. Let's talk about it!

2022 was one of the most fun-filled years I've ever had, with many adventures that left me with unforgettable memories.

Is it already time to build a more complete stack that lets us focus on solving the actual problem rather dealing with the engineering problems!

If somehow you could share a snapshot of your mind with someone, the world would be such an easy place to be, without any misunderstanding and without any conflicts.

Despite 2020 not being the year for everyone, it turned out pretty well for me. I revived my energy of 2016, which was a turning point in my life. On a personal level, 2020 was a year of bonding. I spent more quality time with my close ones. On the professional front, a lot of things changed, for the better.
