Qwik UI with Giorgio Boa

The Developers' Bakery

We’re back in the frontend space to talk about Qwik and Qwik UI, a web framework to build superfast web application. From their readme: Instant-loading web apps, without effort. Qwik UI is their UI library, which offers a variety of components that you can use to kickstart your application.

Today we do have Giorgio Boa on stage, one of the maintainers of Qwik UI, to talk about the project, the motivation behind it, and how this project is evolving.
