    A really cool feature of the View Transitions API (available now in stable Chrome!) is that videos and animations on the new view continue to play smoothly while transitioning. With a bit of extra JavaScript, you can even do this with elements shared across different routes ✨

    Experimenting with 🚀 @astrodotbuild and the Shared Element Transition API. It might *look* like an SPA, but it's a server-side rendered MPA with near-zero JavaScript ⚡️ Blog post coming soon to a theater near you!

    The View Transitions API now supports MPAs (Multi-page applications) and it's truly mind-blowing. This is a server-side rendered @astrodotbuild website where every interaction is a full-page load. There is _zero_ JavaScript on this site ✨

    Here's the demo @BenDMyers and I put together using @astrodotbuild and the Shared Element Transition API ✨ Unlike my previous demo, this one handles network latency by transitioning to a `<template>` right away, and then replacing it with the real content when it comes in.

    New @astrodotbuild + View Transitions demo ✨ This time using React Three Fiber to render an animated 3D model that persists across page-navigations.

    I'm writing a short article exploring how @astrodotbuild SPAs could look like in the future with ✨Persistent Islands✨ This is the demo we built on stream with @jlengstorf last week. We started with an Astro MPA and then added some JS+CSS to make it feel more like a native app.

    I love the transitions and animations in this concept design by @paperpillar 🤩 If you're looking to build a View Transitions demo (or an actual product!), this is the perfect inspiration.
