As the way we build web applications gets homogenous, web development seems to be losing some of its creativity. Websites often look and function the same way however, the potential of what can be built is ever growing. From new browser capabilities, to JavaScript libraries unlocking the use of tools not initially designed for the web, to entirely new technologies; there’s never been a better time to experiment. In this talk, I want to share what I’ve learned over the past 9 years of building creative side projects exploring alternative interactions in JavaScript.
