What’s your web?

Submitted Mar 9, 2015

To break the designer / creator bias towards laptops (and desktops) while designing experiences on the web.

Outline

The web’s built on an open protocol, and was always meant to be an inclusive network. The requirements for consuming (and contributing to) content on the web are pretty straightforward — a web browser running on any device and an internet connection.

While we all understand this, our understanding doesn’t necessarily translate into an unbiased effort at crafting experiences on the web. More often than not, the web experience on mobile gets stifled, in turn affecting those whose window to the web are these devices in their pockets.

This talk will be based around my observation of where the state of web (and the community) is headed.
