Things are kicking off with a welcome from Verlebie. @charis looks excited! #webconfasia @webconf_asia https://t.co/tiUtED36jP


Keynote from @smashingmag’s Vitaly is a hell of a way to start a conf! #webconfasia @webconf_asia https://t.co/jZ92baf2zL


LOL. My university’s website gets called out for using a carousel that makes web designers sad. 😂 @smashingmag @webconf_asia #webconfasia https://t.co/dpgcnb5zKK


“Hey, look at that! @yow_conf is coming to HK, and you can win a free ticket!” Come visit us and get a sticker, @webconf_asia 😉 #webconfasia https://t.co/6hTRpCaWDL


Next up is @triblondon from @fastly – hey, that’s where @randommood works! – talking about the power of the network. #webconfasia https://t.co/qvjL5M2tLf


HTTP/1.0 envisioned as a WeChat chat! #webconfasia https://t.co/3e5dfvaJBD


Speaker selfie with @triblondon, who taught me more about HTTP in one talk than I ever knew before! #webconfasia @fastly https://t.co/S8U7wJ8jlr


UX design is all about caring for the overall user experience – beyond just screen they’re interacting with. #webconfasia @FractalStories https://t.co/sQHBT3kDVG


Creative coder @edankwan gets the audience chuckling with his story of moving on from Flash… #webconfasia #flashisdead https://t.co/ZrRjByph90


@cczona Also seeing Americans unwilling to travel to O/S confs for fear of having to hand over passwords upon reentry. 🙁


@cczona I know – I am one. And I turned down a talk in US last month for that reason. 🙁


Neat – @edankwan showing off his Particle Love experiment using Leap Motion. https://t.co/t3gdoHdNDb #webconfasia https://t.co/TseZZv9f0G


Yay, I found HK legend @bgever at #webconfasia! https://t.co/UOlcaFWwDj


So impressed with how well @charis and the @webconf_asia team have organised everything. Great talks, great food, great chats! #webconfasia https://t.co/tdeJNqVSsN


Hey, look! There’s the @yow_conf logo! Check out the amazing speakers we’re bringing to HK in Sept: https://t.co/DpqQVeGYqP #webconfasia https://t.co/u8eRY1hwWH


Lots of examples from @dietrich about bridging physical-digital divide, including QR codes. You can even knit them! 😂 #webconfasia https://t.co/dlpKDcc3sX


@codepo8 @yow_conf Hmmmm… not sure, but I can suggest!


@dcotterill @yow_conf WHEN DID WE HAVE STUBBIE HOLDERS?! 😂😍


More than 50% of websites are in English, yet only 5% of population are native speakers! – @hj_chen #webconfasia https://t.co/vIWz3D8Yr5


I ❤️ @hj_chen’s talk. Serious typography geekery, but from Chinese perspective. So cool! #webconfasia https://t.co/y29EeqoUTO


@dietrich I did! And they point to the pattern, so they’re self-replicating. 😁 https://t.co/i6PZK6CsNu


Two minutes in, and @brucel already has the audience hanging on every word! #webconfasia https://t.co/ANBMnOExUE


Hope you all enjoyed afternoon tea as much as the #webconfasia team did! 😂 Thanks @yow_conf. https://t.co/KJ7QURqwQs


@jesswade @DrLucyRogers @dietrich @01Annalisa @DrEOChapman The pattern is here! (They were hand knit though.) https://t.co/i6PZK6CsNu


A fun end to #webconfasia as @heydonworks runs us through the many advantages of NOT writing code! https://t.co/fbObubOLwv


Waving at @johnallsopp from #webconfasia afterparty with @smashingmag and @heydonworks! https://t.co/dvAYQJNhgJ


@jenblacker They absolutely do, and they point to the pattern – so they’re self-replicating. Took me many prototypes!! https://t.co/i6PZK6CsNu


@jenblacker QR codes rely on squareness, so key is to BLOCK THE HELL OUT OF IT.


@chthonicionic @jenblacker Thanks! They won me a second prize at the Sydney Royal Easter Show knitting competition a few years back 😁


Some of the many amazing folks I got to chat with and learn from over the past 48hrs at #webconfasia and #voxxedsi… https://t.co/GokZmFEaAg https://t.co/lRLBwymOkB


@perrynfowler @dcotterill @yow_conf @jagregory Now I’m tempted to knit one with JAOO on it… 😂


@johnallsopp @smashingmag @heydonworks I should add that we toasted to @malarkey as well. 🙂


RT @neilhimself: Aha! You can get Marvel:1602 by me and Andy Kubert for the Kindle for Cheap ($3). Still proud of this reimagining. https:…
