Recently at mkodo we started building a new framework to help speed up our work and delivery to our clients. Building a framework can not only bring some interesting challenges on the table, like custom global UI variables, but it can also magnify some of the existing pain points (I’m looking at you, navigation). In this talk we will explore some of the challenges we came across during our journey from the architecture to the implementation details, our solutions and learnings. We believe that anyone can benefit from these lessons learnt, from the very juniors to the seniors.
