Accessibility is often framed around screen readers and contrast ratios. However, in many parts of the world, accessibility starts with unreliable or expensive connectivity.
This talk reframes offline-first architecture as a core accessibility concern. Using React Native examples, we’ll explore how network assumptions silently exclude users in low-connectivity regions and how offline-first patterns dramatically expand who can actually use our apps.
We’ll cover practical strategies for designing user flows that remain usable without a stable network and how these decisions improve resilience for all users, not just those offline.


Javascript evolution has sped up (a lot) in recent years and event the most veterans developers find it hard to keep up with the latest trends. This meetup group aims to bring you monthly bite-sized updates on the world of Javascript along with a healthy dose of nice people, beer and pizza.
