We’re promised that AI will either free designers… or replace them. In real life? It produces generic screens, worthy of a free UI kit… and ugly. And to get that masterpiece, you have to write a prompt longer than The Odyssey. In other words, it’s closer to “your cousin who dabbles in design” than Apple’s design team at the keyboard.

Let’s be honest: my dream as a UX designer has never been to spend my days pushing pixels. What drives me is solving real problems for real users, with their very concrete constraints—turning ideas into apps that are pleasant, useful, and alive.

This talk is an unfiltered reflection after 15 years of experience in design and front-end development. So today, what does AI do well, and where does it spectacularly fail? And why, despite all the hype, designers still have a crucial role to play… at least until the next update.

Do you like React? Unfortunately, sometimes it can be painful to choose the best libraries and to learn the best practices to build your new project ready for production. Many heroes have been lost for years because React is one of the most dense ecosystems.

We all would like to start our brand new project with the best possible solution already provided. Today, we would like to detail our technical choices and the best practices that we set up in our web-application starter named Start UI, with more than 600 stars. Our adventure is the result of many years of experiments on different projects, from which we took the best.

Ivan and Yoann join you for tech watch, discussion, and the migration of Start REPO, an internal Open Source project, to tRPC v10.

Ivan and Yoann join you for some tech watch, followed by the development of an overlay to display live scores on the stream for upcoming BearStudio Pong Volley tournaments.

Ivan and Yoann are implementing tRPC on Start Repo, a BearStudio product. The objective is to implement a typing on the web services, which allows to define a contract between the API and the front-end.

Ivan and Yoann accompany the viewers to do some monitoring and develop an idea box in React, Next.JS and Prisma. They then resume the React development of the Figma plugin started in the previous stream.

Stream presented by Yoann in which Ivan coaches Hugo on how to create a website with Next.JS and Tailwind CSS in its pro-Tailwind UI version.

Inauguration of the BearStudio Twitch channel, discussion about upcoming BS stream projects, answering all viewers’ questions, presentation of open source projects and analysis of viewers’ digital projects.

Today, to launch a web application project, that is not just a small prototype, you may have to choose between React or VueJS.

Come and share your opinion in a good atmosphere, the idea being to see the good and the bad points in both approaches. Because, spoiler alert, there is no silver bullet. But by sharing the strengths and weaknesses together, it might help you make your choice.

Let’s take the time to discuss these 2 different JS libraries together.

BEM, BEMIT, OOCSS, CSS-in-JS, Tailwind CSS, lots of ways to approach CSS style integration in 2020. Let’s take the time to discuss the different approaches together.

“You are a developer, your code is perfect, your last refactoring makes it even more readable, you have eradicated all the bugs! It’s D-day, the production launch! (and it’s not even Friday). And then it all goes sideways! Feedback from your users: “How is it that when I click here nothing happens?” “It’s super complicated! “We don’t understand anything…” So, (re)discover the basics of ergonomics and sublimate this code that is so dear to you with an ergonomic interface: your users will thank you!”

“An app idea to revolutionize the world, but you don’t really know where to start? Discover Whimsical, a tool to visually transcribe your next app idea, that could finally make you a millionaire*! *Non-contractual information : it’s not miraculous, you’ll have to work a little too ^^”
