Session outline:

What if API-first didn’t mean API-only?

What if the future was hybrid decoupling?

What if you don't need to decouple, to have some fun?

What if you could make your CSS and JS over 90% more lean, with just a slice of opinion?

What if frontend frameworks die?

What if someone is going to tell you about a cutting-edge native Drupal frontend alternative?

Would you come?

Longer context:

This talk is around the potential of splitting up the theming layer of Drupal.

I took a break from paid work for more than a year to evolve the theming layer of Drupal.

The outcome of my work resulted in a future for Drupal where cutting edge frontend standards will become the norm (and stay the norm).

Not only do I revolutionise the idea of what we consider the theming layer to be, I will share an open-source toolset and platform to grow Drupal’s Frontend community.
