Layers is gone, but the amazing content created by the community is not. Join us for a handful of Meetups with the amazing community members who joined our open call. These are grade-A content for you to enjoy and still feel the experience of the Layers conference.
For our second meetup, meet our great friends Roman, Nina, and Gleb from the Evil Martians. They're gonna be sharing with us their best tips and tricks on everything from accessibility in fonts, to AI for content generation and even some front-end magic.The 3 talks are aimed at Designers and their best friends (or enemies, depending on how you ask 😅) the Front-End Developers. It intends to present the amazing projects and ideas being developed by the studio and help you take a peek under the hood of all their creative tooling.

Agenda

Welcome
Smart Nano Stores, or how we made front-end simpler	The growing complexity of JavaScript world requires simple and elegant solutions. Nina Torgunakova, frontend engineer at Evil Martians, is going to tell about how to achieve simplicity in state management via Nano Stores. Level: Intermediate Target audience: Frontend engineers
Resolving text accessibility dilemmas in UIs	We all know the general rules for better accessibility: using larger text and higher color contrast. But is it always the case? In this talk, I’ll explore cases where following these rules can actually create the opposite effect, making it harder for people to use your app. We’ll examine these cases and work towards finding solutions for each dilemma. Level: Intermediate Target audience:UI/UX designers and frontend engineers
Crafting Blog covers: AI tools vs Human Illustrators. Who is the winner?	There are a lot of AI tools which help you create images in different styles. We conducted a huge experiment in different departments to prepare images for our blog covers. I want to show and tell you a story behind the covers and share our experience about who is the winner in the context of the images creation. AI tools or Human Illustrators. Level: Beginner-friendly Target audience: All creators
