I was having some issues with my setup at React Conf, and ended up converting my slide deck to PP just because I was worried about the clicker situation.

Aurora Scharff @aurorascharff.no · 1d

Other ways it has been solved for me is that the conference controls your slides, then switches to your mirrored view for you when it’s time for your demo.
Then you need them to give you a clicker to control your slides.
Problem is they might not be able to, I know this happened at React Conf yday

Aurora Scharff @aurorascharff.no · 1d

The extra screen sort of works, problem with that is a lot of the time your stage setup won’t allow that. I.e, if it’s a small tilted «laptop-holder» only

Aurora Scharff @aurorascharff.no · 1d

You can just click escape after your slides then swipe to your demo screen

Aurora Scharff @aurorascharff.no · 1d

So my method is here (unfortunately) to use PowerPoint, because it will show speaker notes for you only (or one projector only) even when you’re mirrored. I was shocked to find out keynote doesn’t have this feature? So it’s super easy to handle slides + live demo with PowerPoint

Lovely view here early morning at the Westin in Henderson, Nevada. So excited for the next couple of days of #ReactConf 🤩

Async operations don’t have to mean flickering UIs and messy state management. @aurorascharff.no (Crayon Consulting) shows how concurrent rendering + Actions fix these pain points in React 19, and what’s next with View Transitions.

Really excellent React / Next.js Server Components workshop this morning from @aurorascharff.no - learned a ton that I'll be applying to SimpleRSS! 🙂 She managed to squeeze a ton in even with the building briefly catching fire and being evacuated (for real).

The real innovation in UI libraries will be scheduling. The goal for my react conf talk next month is to explain why you should use all these async Fiber features because scheduling updates is the biggest performance problem in your app - no matter what library you use.
