Developer Erick Wendel returns to Google Web AI Summit (Oct 30, Google HQ) to present LocalStudio.dev, his open-source presentation editor that runs 100% in the browser — pitched as a browser-native Canva alternative.
Highlights:
- Uses Web AI for image generation, slide generation, transcription and RAG, with zero backend
- Talk framed as "55 hours, 770M tokens" to build the editor
- Stack touches parallel worktrees, specs, custom skills, e2e tests and local-first architecture
