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?
Not sure why this isn't getting liked more, but maybe you could try some of the cheesy cuts like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zz-lTa1SAM
Either way, I'm sure the guys at comedy news shows will love this.
but seriously, the problem that comes to mind is the crazy complexity requirements that some sites have (must have special chars) but other sites restrict (no special chars). i honestly can't think of a good solution to that though, i always wanted to make a collaborative database of password complexity for various sites
I'm also not convinced by the explanation that mechanical turk would provide effective feedback to a startup. Even if the scoring system did tell them where to focus, there should be another round of the top 50 or so with actual experts providing much more detailed feedback.
I wish I could've covered everything I wanted to cover naturally but in the end I felt a disconnect between what I wanted to say and what I was able to say. Then again maybe that makes me a worse candidate, but I hope I get a chance to show I'm not in interviews.
