JSFoo 2020

After the mobile explosion at the start of the last decade, changing user preferences led businesses to prioritize apps. This change left the open web in a poor state for the publishers and users who rely on it. Google, along with other partners, set out to solve this challenge with the creation of AMP, an open-source web component framework that makes it easy for anyone to create user-first web experiences. In this talk you will learn about the journey of creating an open-source product, scaling it, and lessons learned working with a diverse set of stakeholders.

Outline

• Creating an open-source product
