Blog
This Blog is an is an experiment and a space for thinking out loud together. Not every post is a breakthrough or a new invention. Instead, this blog captures the ideas, experiments, and reflections that help developers learn from each other. We highlight perspectives from speakers, contributors, and attendees, aiming to surface knowledge that strengthens the community and connects engineers across teams, companies, and borders. Whether you’re attending the conference or following from afar, this is where we continue the technical and human side of building the web together.
ZurichJS was named one of the most impactful open-source communities globally. Here is how a local meetup became a community conference.

“We can build that ourselves.” And we can. But accessibility, localization, consistency and all the details that make a UI actually work? That’s a lot to rebuild. Shared building blocks let us focus on what makes our product ours. We’re very happy to have primeui.dev supporting ZurichJS Conf.
If you’ve ever built a rich text editing experience, chances are you’ve come across @tiptap.dev. Open source, developer-first and built to give developers the freedom to create. That’s exactly the kind of work we love seeing in the JS ecosystem. Thank you, Tiptap, for supporting conf.zurichjs.com!
Excited to be at @zurichjs.com and meet the community 🤗
Most of us know, open source is about more than code. It’s about people helping and supporting people. Few embody that better than @santoshyadav.dev. His journey through life is remarkable, but so is how much he gives back to OSS. We’re very happy to have him as a panellist at @zurichjs.com Conf 💛
It’s easy to complain about what could be better in the JS ecosystem. James takes a different approach: he sees something that could be improved and gets to work. Through @e18e.dev & many other projects, he’s helping make our shared OSS infrastructure better. So happy to have him at ZurichJS Conf.
Just send the order in to develop 4 proofs for the @zurichjs.com badges. Of course, I had the use Smallpdf to get them sorted for production, cause it's all based on PDFs! 😉
Just ordered some special merch for @zurichjs.com Conf 👀. And no, it's not t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, caps or keychains. Any guesses?
AI agents are getting pretty good at doing things. But how do you actually put one in front of a user? That’s where CopilotKit 🪁 comes in. They’re behind AG-UI, the open protocol for connecting agents to user-facing apps. Big thanks to CopilotKit for supporting us! 💛
✅ flight booked ✅ hotel booked ✅ tickets booked See you soon @zurichjs.com excited to meet the community
Community can shape the technology we want to see in the world. @proton.me grew from a crowdfunded idea into a privacy-first, open source ecosystem used by millions. We’re incredibly happy to have a company with those values supporting the ZurichJS community.
Ok @zurichjs.com folks, I made it! 5km #run without walking breaks. Let's see if I can sustain/imrpove it by Sep 10th. Of course I'll adjust to the pace of the group - just trying to go with the flow here 🫡
We just opened up a few more slots for student/unemployed tickets: conf.zurichjs.com#tickets
That’s a lot of @posthog.com sessions for @zurichjs.com I wonder how many events I’ve scanned through at this point 😅
Yay! We just hit 1K members for the @zurichjs.com meetup group in under 2 years!
Zurich is so beautiful. Jet lagged as hell but these views just picked me up immediately. Can’t wait for everyone coming to @zurichjs.com to experience this in a month!
Some say @wts.rocks is why @zurichjs.com conf even exists 👀
