Promotional banner for “Fronteers Dark Mode” with the headline “Friday night. Frontend. Fronteers Dark Mode!” in bold black text on a bright yellow speech-bubble shape. Below it, the text invites people to join on Friday, October 2nd 2026, at Cinema De Witt in Dordrecht for an intimate evening of frontend talks and community vibes from 3PM to after midnight. The background shows a lively evening courtyard scene outside a cinema, with people sitting at tables, chatting under warm string lights, and a modern glass entrance glowing in the night. Colorful decorative shapes frame the top corners of the image.

Well, CSS Day is live now ( https://cssday.nl ) and I've got a bunch of related things to do but unfortunately I'm ill and can hardly concentrate.
So the going will be very slow this time.
The date is set, so mark your calendars!
On Thursday 12 March we are relaunching Fronteers Belgium 🚀
This event will be hosted by Craftzing at their office in Ghent.
More info soon!

Proud to announce TechConf.Directory, a directory of tech conferences around the globe.
I've found it quite difficult to find conferences. That is true no more!
I've made all the data fully open and available via a fully queryable API as well.

As someone who enjoys attending conferences, I thought it might be helpful to share a list of my favourite front-end and web development conferences.

I’m very happy to read that this year a new edition of Fronteers Dark Mode (www.fronteers.nl/en/conference/) will take place.
Last year’s edition was top notch. If you weren’t there, you missed out on something really really good …
What a great idea💡👏🏼😍
Also: wow, that's a lot! 😅
Each January, I take the badges from all the events I spoke at last year, frame them, and hang them on the wall.
Here's 2025: 20 talks, 7 workshops, 18 events, 11 countries.

Build accessible components—framework or not—without the hand-waving. ♿✨
@sleeplessbyte.bsky.social shares practical patterns and fixes for interactive UI that actually ship. Less theory, more “here’s how.”

For organising Fronteers Darkmode we had a tiny budget. In fact no budget at all for AV. But thanks to an ATEM Mini Pro and a very long USB-C cable we managed to make it look like a high-budget conference instead of a meetup.

Had a great time as one of the speakers at #fronteers tonight. With @erwinhofman.bsky.social talking about web performance😀
