Next #btconf Düsseldorf video dropping in. This is @andremichelle talking about Flash audio hacks and starting over with openDAW. A lovely story about perseverance, open source and why good ideas are worth being built and worked on in the end. https://beyondtellerrand.com/blog/btconf-dusseldorf-2026-video-andre-michelle
A late addition to our YouTube channel: Jared Ficklin and his #btconf Berlin 2026 talk “Art in Dusty Places”. https://beyondtellerrand.com/blog/btconf-berlin-2025-video-jared-ficklin

While I am on the road for #acs26 and doing post-event stuff for #btconf in parallel, I also started working on the videos. 🤪 Here is the first one with Kimya Gandhi and “The Act of Pressing a Key: The Journey of a Letterform on to Your Screen” https://youtu.be/jSBoXCsCyNI
Slides of the opening presentation by @reichenstein at #btconf Düsseldorf 2026 can be found here: https://sharing.ia.net/presenter/b541d9ee82f24318a025b3a1a2f97d67/view
@btconf It’s really a challenge these days – especially with the community’s fragmentation… I’d say YouTube is where also the younger people are very active(ly watching). And they also use LinkedIn. Bluesky – is there a friends of #btconf starter pack? – and Mastodon for the (older? sorry!) more tech-savvy audience. And maybe something like Discord or reddit as well? But that would probably only work with a lot of engagement in various servers/channels… 🤔
Nearly 60% of people who come to #btconf come by recommendation. That is wonderful! On the other hand I ask myself how and if I should get more visibility on any platform that addresses new attendees also. And which one these are?!
This happens if you invite @andremichelle to #btconf and he wants to live-demo #openDAW … (attention: includes @bastianallgeier rocking the stage) … https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX8-VL7g9In/?igsh=MTh5ZW00NG1oM3c2cw==
Updated the #btconf shop and added the latest numbers of past event t-shirts. All money goes into scholarship tickets. https://beyondtellerrand.com/shop

This is my (for now) last #btconf post, promise — or at least that’s the plan.
I just want to say a few more words about @marcthiele.
As a visitor of the #BeyondTellerrand, it becomes pretty obvious very quickly: you don’t do something like this to make money. Marc’s on a mission. With a surprising level of selflessness, he brings people together and gets them talking.

Attended this years #BTConf in Düsseldorf again and was so occupied listening to the talks, catching up with friends while also making new connections, that I forgot to post 😄 best conference and totally recommend it, as always.
See you next year @beyondtellerrand!

My small contribution to this year’s @btconf. During each talk, I collect photos and quotes, and the presentation is shown afterward. The design is driven by random values. In the background, there’s a pool of textures, graphics, svg masks, and fonts, with their styling controlled simply via php rand(). As simple as it is effective.

What a journey – 8-year-old Matthias (aka Powerman⚡️) loved every bit of it! @Signalnoise showing at #btconf how early influences, side projects, and persistent curiosity ultimately shaped his bold, colorful creative identity. 💜
Beautiful type talk by Kimya Gandhi (motaitalic.com) full of amazing Devanagari letterforms shaped by history, culture, and context. 🤩 #btconf
Incredible day-2 opener by @andremichelle at #btconf, who condensed >25 years of building music software into his in-browser openDAW – a case for openness … and persistence. Including a 🤘 live performance by @bastianallgeier 🎸👏
Found the #CSS table with @nilsbinder, @utilitybend, and @bramus at #btconf! 🙌
Blown away by @andremichelle's openDAW, which runs ENTIRELY in the browser! 🤯
So much thought and attention to detail went into this. And it's all Open Source too!

The web is AMAZING 🤩
