I'd like to share some thoughts on building a small UI input widget using inline SVG.

Mani provides a document based search tool in the browser. It merges together free text search, Mongodb type queries, geo search and facets from other projects into one library. It was built to explore what off-line search could look like in the world of service-worker enhanced sites. I will share what I learned while building this library and demo it.

A lightning (precursor?) talk on static site generation in Node using Metalsmith & Gulp (Gulpsmith). Will very briefly glance over the full end-to-end stack involving Codeship CI (alternatives available) deploying to AWS & Cloudflare. With a few tweaks, this stack can make the fastest blog in the world. No slides, just an IDE and some browser tabs.

There's a [insert your noun].js for that.

I was asked by a friend to create a speech recognition program for checking the recited Pi number. I want to share a story how I ended up finding the most elegant solution right under my nose - in the browser.

Related link to the (mostly finished) project.

Happy to speak a bit about Web Audio, in particular my two main side projects:

• virtual-audio-graph - a library for declaratively manipulating the Web Audio API, heavily inspired by virtual-dom and React
• elemental - web app in development for making music in the browser

Hi,

Potentially a quick Slackbots presentation... though they are made using Ruby so not sure!

On creating a stable API from a smörgåsbord of disparate websites, in search of data on voting in Parliament. The sites are scraped with Noodle, glued together and served as a HAL JSON API with Hapi and Halacious. Queries pass through a waterfall of asynchronous functions, using ES2016 async/await and other techniques.

I'm going to talk about something I made most of on the way here: http://benjaminbenben.com/gif-stack/ - https://github.com/benfoxall/gif-stack

I'm sorry if the live coding doesn't work.
