Wanted to dress as something truly terrifying this Halloween.
So I went as HomeTax. 🏠💀
If you run a business in Korea, you know.

This is an event I had wanted to run for a long time.
I kept coming back to the idea, but never really knew how to approach it, so I kept postponing it. On September 28, we finally did it at @dev_korea: Accessibility, live, at AWS Korea in Gangnam, with a bit more than 80 people.
Most of us handle accessibility the same way: run the linter, check the contrast ratio, ship. Very few of us have ever watched someone actually use what we built with a screen reader. So we asked two blind and low vision professionals to show us, live.
👨💻 Inho Seo walked us through his day: KakaoTalk, maps, his IDE, SSH into a virtual machine, VS Code extensions, all by listening. I challenged him to go from his home screen to playing ANTIFRAGILE by LE SSERAFIM on YouTube. It took him about 20 seconds. And he had slowed his screen reader down so we could keep up.
🌐 Chan-Hong Kim couldn’t even reach a price filter on Coupang with a screen reader. With an agentic browser, the agent got it done. His takeaway: a more accessible web is a more agent-friendly web.
Of all our events, this is the one where I saw the most people really listening.

90 devs, 4 demos, 1 trophy at Shipaton 2026: Seoul, hosted by @dev_korea with @RevenueCat 🏆
The stat that surprised me most from @github_skydoves's talk: hard paywalls convert 5x better than soft ones, but one year later retention is basically the same. 28% vs 27%.

🎤 K Choi, AI/ML Engineer at eMoldino, will explore:
→ The economics behind OpenAI and Anthropic’s AI ambitions
→ How Chinese AI labs are making competitive models through distillation
→ What AI-assisted mathematical discoveries really tell us
→ How to separate meaningful progress from exaggerated headlines

💸 Adding a subscription button is easy. Managing everything after the payment? That’s where things get complicated.
At Shipaton Seoul × @RevenueCat × @dev_korea, @github_skydoves, Senior Developer Advocate at RevenueCat, shared why building a reliable subscription business involves much more than processing payments.
In this talk, you’ll learn:
- Why revenue tracking across Apple, Google, and Stripe is harder than it looks
- How hard vs. soft paywalls affect conversion and retention
- Why subscription edge cases and billing failures can quietly cost you revenue
- How remote paywalls and A/B testing help optimize subscriptions without constantly shipping app updates
- Why security, receipt validation, and changing store policies matter
Whether you’re building your first subscription app or already managing thousands of paying users, there’s plenty to take away from this session.

That's a wrap on our second AI Salon x @dev_korea 🤖💻
Yesterday, we brought developers, founders, and fellow builders together at SVC Seoul for an evening of practical AI workflows and conversations.
@ohgosu walked us through how he uses AI for creative research and production, connecting audience research with the screenshots, ads, content, and onboarding experiences people actually see.
@chrisdeweese_ shared how he orchestrates AI agents to build apps and handle tasks across coding, operations, and computer use, including where these workflows can go wrong.
What I really like about evenings like this is getting to hear how people use these tools in their day-to-day work. The workflows. The decisions. The things they've figured out along the way. And then having the chance to ask questions and exchange ideas in the same room.
Thank you to SVC Seoul for hosting us, our speakers for sharing their work, everyone for helping make this event happen. ❤️
Looking forward to more evenings like this.
