Magically optimising your fonts

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.

Beyond the Framework

Frontend tooling moves at breakneck speed, but the foundations of great web applications remain surprisingly constant. In this talk, Daniel explores how to architect projects that will thrive across technology shifts — from framework migrations to evolving hosting landscapes. Drawing from his work leading the Nuxt core team and collaborating with global developer communities, Daniel shares patterns, pitfalls, and practical strategies for building software that stays resilient, adaptable, and joyful to work on.
