Explore Valdi, Snapchat’s newly open-sourced UI framework that has powered major parts of the Snapchat app for years. This session takes a direct, technical look at how Valdi works, what problems it aims to solve, and how its rendering model differs from React and other cross-platform approaches.

The stream walks through documentation, project bootstrapping, TypeScript/TSX integration, rendering behavior, and early developer experience, including what happens when modifying UI modules live, how Valdi approaches incremental work, and what its AOT-leaning architecture implies.
