Our first-ever offline meetup — done and dusted 😎
After months of planning, we finally organized the first ReactPlay offline meetup last month. It was held on November 18, 2023, at GeekyAnts’ office in Bangalore. And we are delighted to tell you that it was a massive bang.
Bangalore is the city of engineers they say. And we got to see that one more time! 60 developers from all around Bangalore joined us and participated in the meetup. We were truly astonished by such a response from the community.
No tech meetup is complete without tech talks! And ours was no exception. We had four talks by four amazing people around CSS, AI, and frontend. Here’s a brief on that:
Latest CSS Features You Don’t Want to Ignore — Sruti Balsa
Building a design system on top of gluestack-ui — Akash Gautam
Build AI chat assistant in 10 minutes with OpenAI — Pritesh Kiri
Astonishing Astro - Tapas Adhikary
If you were at the meetup, you know how amazing it was! And this couldn’t have been possible without a bunch of folks whose efforts made it possible to make this event successful.
First and foremost, huge gratitude to awesome people at GeekyAnts, who were kind enough to provide space and other facilities.
What about another offline meetup… 🤩
With the enthusiasm and support we got from our first meetup, we are encouraged to host another!
