JavaScript represents a bit part of page weight - and optimising for performance often requires trimming or optimising the bundle - albeit imperfectly. At the same time, bundlers have never been more important in full-stack JS frameworks. In this session we’ll be rethinking how bundlers can optimise JS, if we let go of some of our previous assumptions about what bundling means.

I've recently taken over maintenance of `GoogleChromeLabs/critters` (now renamed to `beasties`) - a library for inlining critical css. I've already rewritten it in TypeScript (of course) and migrated to vitest, etc. it's such a useful library and I think there's quite a lot more we can do, particularly around performance ⚡️

Framework agnostic tools for accessing data from font CDNs and providers

This talk explores web font optimisation challenges and solutions, covering the impact of web fonts on Core Web Vitals and common implementation approaches. I introduce two new open source tools, fontaine and unifont, as well as demonstrating how we're able to build on top of them with Nuxt Fonts to create a streamlined, privacy-focused approach to web font implementation.

I examine the recent trend towards meta frameworks like Nuxt, Next, Solid Start, Remix, SvelteKit, and others, exploring the factors driving their rise in popularity. We discuss the benefits and potential drawbacks of using meta frameworks, when they are the best solution, and scenarios where other options may be preferable. I showcase the current capabilities of meta frameworks and offer predictions on how this landscape may evolve over the next year.

If you want to use AI to help you contribute to one of the projects I maintain, I would be delighted. But I have rules. I reflect on what makes AI useful for individuals, and what I find suspect or to be avoided.

In a world of large language models, what new capabilities can we unlock in our existing meta frameworks? Let's live code a new version of the Nuxt framework that pushes the boundaries of making an AI-enabled app.
