I tried submitting a reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/reactjs/comments/474odi/what_about_...), but it didn't get much traction... I think because the videos got pulled. I hope you guys don't mind if I ask this question here, and I apologize if I'm being naive in some way:

Aditya Punjani's later Flipkart talk (https://youtu.be/m2tvYGCdOzs) mentioned the importance of mobile web apps and 60 FPS.

Ben Alpert's talk mentioned (https://youtu.be/-RJf2jYzs8A?t=1378) "React Native for the web" would be awesome.

There was even a lightning talk on react-native-web which attempts to do this using the traditional DOM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBg2_uQE4KM)

Whatever happened to Flipboard's React Canvas (http://engineering.flipboard.com/2015/02/mobile-web/ and https://github.com/Flipboard/react-canvas) being a solution to these problems? There's pretty good browser availability and although there's currently no perfect solutions for things like accessibility, SEO, or server-side rendering... I failed to se a real "nail in the coffin". Did it just never gather enough momentum?

I'm not very familiar with this topic but you may find yesterday's Mozilla Webrender discussion interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11175258

Thanks!

Lots of good talks to explore. The most entertaining one was Jamison Dance's talk on Elm. He's a good speaker and is funny

My favourite talk was only 5 minutes long and came from Elie Rotenberg[0]. He demonstrated how React can be used to completely obfuscate the DOM tree.

In practice it seems somewhat malicious to do this, however there may be some legitimate use cases too.

I'm watching Nick Schrock's keynote video and at 5:15 he says someone made this stained-glass window: http://i.imgur.com/tBx7zku.png

Kind of a sidetrack, but I've always wondered, why more of these types of artistic creations aren't done with sugar... I mean, you'd have to seal it to prevent moisture/deterioration, but it feels like it would be more easily expressed in that medium.

In any case, it's a cool piece of art.

For those who don't have the time to watch all the videos, here's are the github links to the most interesting projects from Day 2:
