Design Systems Breakfast with Slava — The Perfect Skeleton Component

Join us for our upcoming Design Systems Breakfast with Slava Shkodin, a Frontend Tech Lead with 15+ years of experience in frontend development!

Slava will be talking about "How to create the perfect Skeleton component".

Most Skeleton solutions fall into two camps: either they're wildly over-engineered (hello, measuring DOM elements at runtime or during build time with Playwright), or they're so bare-bones that you end up manually adjusting placeholder sizes forever. Neither is fun.

Slava's approach sits right in the middle. It's simple to implement, does about 80% of the work automatically, and only needs occasional tweaks. No constant maintenance, no complex tooling — just a smart solution that actually works in practice.

If you've ever groaned at yet another loading state implementation, this one's for you.

Our breakfasts are kept intentionally low-key and open to conversation. Whether you're a designer, engineer, or somewhere in between, you're welcome to pull up a chair, bring your coffee, and jump in.
