If a talk has not been uploaded you can leave the video_url empty and put in a random date
You might need to update the IDs in case another PR is merged first

[FEATURE] Add topics to the filter

I think it would be nice to have an option to filter talks based on their topics.
The implementation would be just adding a "Topic" dropdown into the Filters box on the left side.

Alternatively, it can be a multi-value input where you can select multiple topics at the same time.

After watching a video and clicking back the select element stays filled in, but the filters are not applied

So I just used ConfTalks to look for a video using Chrome. After I finished watching the video, the category I used to search was still filled in when I clicked back to go back to ConfTalks. The filters, however, were not applied.

[RFC/Discussion] Use Typescript enums, objects and interfaces for storing data.

When working with large data sets, I have found integrity and visibility to be a problem. It is very easy to make a mistake where an incorrect number is used. This is made more confusing by the fact there are numeric indexes as strings and it would be an easy mistake to zero-index the reference.

Since the project is already in Typescript, I'd like to propose that the data format switch from a JSON file to exported constants with interfaces and enums.
This has a few benefits:

• Type safe (interfaces and enums)
• Data integrity (data must be well defined, duplicates, typos etc are caught by linters and at compile time.
• Higher visibility of data
• Massively reduces refactoring workload and merge conflicts

Take for example:
clients/data/talks.json

{ 
  ...,
  "180": {
  "speakers": [187],
  "main_title": "Lightning launch - TakeShape",
  "alternative_titles": [],
  "categories": [15],
  "video_url": "https://youtu.be/ov9nZ2uBr2A",
  "video_upload_date": "2019-10-17",
  "conferences": [6]
 },
}

Now becomes
clients/data/talks.ts

export enum Speaker {
  'Example Person' = 'Example Person' , // string enum to make display easier.
  ...
}

export enum Category {
  React
}

export enum Conference {
  'Frontend Love Amsterdam 2018'
}

export interface IConferenceTalk {
  speakers: Speaker[],
  main_title: string
  alternative_titles: string[],
  categories: Category[],
  video_url: string,
  video_upload_date: Date,
  conferences: Conference[]
}

// Visibility of the relationships here is much improved
export const CONFERENCE_TALKS: {[number]: IConferenceTalk} = {
  "180": {
    "speakers": [Speaker.'Example Person'],
    "main_title": "Lightning launch - TakeShape",
    "alternative_titles": [],
    "categories": [Category.React],
    "video_url": "https://youtu.be/ov9nZ2uBr2A",
    "video_upload_date": new Date('2019-10-17'),
    "conferences": [Conference.'Frontend Love Amsterdam 2018']
   },
}

This would also make logic simpler in the React components that do the rendering, as they could just refer to myEnum[value] to get values.
Potentially JSON could still also be output at compile time or used as an input format to a parser than then validates the input, the downside to that option is it would still be easy to use an incorrect index.

If indexes were dropped from categories, speakers and conferences (possibly preserve them on conference talks), this would also massively reduce the number of merge conflicts and refactor work when there becomes a "race condition" on PRs using the same indexes.

I'd be interested in your thoughts

Add data for JAMStack Conf SF 2019

In the data directory you will find a few files with relational data. Please review the contributing guidelines for adding talks for info on the formatting.

Add the videos from the conference in the same way the data is already formatted. You can find the videos here:

• JAMStack Conf SF 2019

Let me know if you start working on this. If you have any questions, you can ask them here or in our community Slack.

If a talk has not been uploaded yet you can leave the video_url empty and put in a date like 2021-12-30 or a data when the video will be uploaded for sure.

💌 You can subscribe to our newsletter if you are interested in conferences or ConfTalks and want to stay up to date.

Also, if you want to add any other conference, you can create an issue for it if you want. I'll be sure to add the hacktoberfest tag when I see them.

Make merging PRs and updating IDs easier with a node script that fixes duplicate IDs and orders them in the JSON data

In the data directory you will find a few files with relational data. Since this repository depends on pull requests to add more data and the fact that multiple pull requests need to be merged at a time is a problem that needs to be solved.

A few pull requests in and I'm already feeling the problem with the merge conflicts. If there was a node script that would fix duplicate IDs, auto-increment them and order them in a logical way that would really help people contribute and save everyone a lot of time.

Turn the <select /> elements into combobox / multi-select versions with Downshift.

For the Filters on ConfTalks we currently use a standard <select /> element. I'd like to swap those out for a nice searchable combobox using Downshift: https://github.com/downshift-js/downshift

If a talk has not been upload you can leave the video_url empty and put in a date like 1999-12-30 or something silly like that.

Keep in mind that you might need to update your IDs so they are unique after making a pull request if someone else's PR gets merged first. This means you will need to merge the master branch into your fork as described in the contribution guidelines.

[RFC/Discussion] How can ConfTalks improve to help you?

ConfTalks is an open source index of already recorded and scheduled development related related conference talks to help you decide if you should go

My initial vision for the project is a talk index that includes upcoming conferences. You are able to select an upcoming conference and will be able to see which of those talks have been given at other conferences and have been recorded and put on YouTube.

You can read more about it in the announcement post on DEV.

I want to hear some ideas / suggestions on how we can improve ConfTalks to make it fulfill its goal of helping you decide wether you want to go to a conference or not.

What are some things you consider when deciding on a conference?

I'd love to hear your comments.

Make a better logo for ConfTalks

Right now we have a pretty simple logo I created but I'm not very good at this sort of thing.

If you could create a logo that would be very much appreciated. Some things to keep in mind:

• Preferably use the colors used for the ConfTalks website, but don't use more than a few colors. Less is more.
• The logo should be easily identifiable when it is small as a favicon (the icon in your browser tab)
• Keep it simple, I'd like to have some stickers made some day and maybe some other printed stuff
• You can read more about ConfTalks in the DEV.to announcement.

Sort items in filter lists

On the left sidebar the Filter section contains two lists, Conference and Category. Currently these lists appear to be sorted by ID (or possibly by order of appearance in their respective JSON files. These lists would be more user-friendly if their contents were sorted alphabetically.
