LiveDeck

Framing the Problem

What is the problem you are trying to solve? Who does it affect?

• Tech conferences are packed with useful sessions, but attendees often leave with scattered notes and forgotten talks. At multi-track events, they also miss sessions they wanted to attend because talks happen at the same time.

Idea Explanation

What is your idea? How does it fix the problem?

• Conf LiveDeck helps attendees follow the live conference, check into sessions, capture key moments, and save overlapping talks to watch later. By the end, they have a polished take-home deck they can share with their team.

Implementation

How do all the pieces fit together? Does your frontend make requests to your backend? Where does your database fit in?

• The MVP is a React/Vite frontend deployed on GitHub Pages. It uses curated JSNation and React Summit schedule data, client-side state for captures and saved sessions, responsive layouts, and motion effects for the deck experience.

Challenges

What did you struggle with? How did you overcome it?

• The main challenge was making it feel like a real live conference companion, not just a schedule or note app. We improved the product around parallel tracks, live session flow, mobile readability, and a clearer final deck.

Accomplishments

What did you learn? What did you accomplish?

• I built a working public MVP that supports live sessions, check-ins, captures, saved-for-later talks, and a shareable multi-section LiveDeck.

Next Steps

What are the next steps for your project? How can you improve it?

• Next, we would connect real schedule APIs, persist user decks, add export/share options, and use AI to generate stronger team summaries.
