Frank Yan at React Conf 2019

Frank talks about the evolution of Facebook as a website, and the challenges that they faced as they try to extend and enhance it. They recently rebuild the website from scratch(!), using React, GraphQL, and Relay. Their goal was to create a modern design system, improve accessibility, and achieve faster page loads and seamless interactions. In the process, they created their own CSS-In-JS library, whose features Franks presents, as he goes through the new frontend architecture.
