Talk 2: View transitions: A deep dive
The new View Transitions API lets you create engaging and user-friendly web experiences. They can be used to smoothly transition between pages, views, and components, and can help to make your web app feel more polished and responsive.
In this talk, we will take a deep dive into the new JavaScript View Transitions API for single-page apps. We will explore all of the features and functionality that it offers, and learn how to use it to create custom animations and transitions.
