### UX TALKS
Talk 1: #BYOA — Bring Your Own Application
Erik Willemse, Senior Digital Service & AI Design Engineer
We’re entering a phase where, if a tool doesn’t exist, or if the existing ones are simply too complicated, you just build the exact thing you need yourself.
No roadmap. No procurement cycle. No feature request backlog.
Just solve the problem.
Thanks to vibe-coding, building software is becoming accessible to the people who actually experience the friction. Instead of waiting months for a feature or adapting your workflow to a generic tool, you create something that fits your problem, your process, and your team.
Tools like Lovable make that possible. And this shift is bigger than it may seem.
This isn’t really about a waffle charts generator or poster tiling tools. It’s about what happens when building software on demand becomes normal.
When the people closest to the problem can create the solution, exactly when they need it.
Talk 2: Digital inclusion in public transport
Sjoera Roggeman
Public transport is a fundamental service that should be available to everyone. But as services become increasingly digital, there is a real risk of excluding people who are less digitally confident, or have specific needs for using digital products. That’s why De Lijn implemented an “easy mode” within the existing app, a simplified interface that reduces complexity and makes key tasks more straightforward and intuitive.
In this talk, Sjoera will walk you through the design process from start to end, and share her learnings and challenges as a UX designer on this project.
