Talk: UX & Design for Rails Devs: Elevating the "One Person Framework" Experience

Rails 8's positioning as the "one-person framework" empowers developers to build complete applications independently, but many struggle with creating interfaces that are both functional and visually appealing. We will blitz through a variety of techniques and applications, pulling from recent examples such as the Rails Guides redesign. This talk will provide actionable UX assessment methods, fundamental visual design principles, and a live redesign demonstration using paper and Figma—equipping Rails developers with essential skills to create applications that are not just functional, but delightful to use.
