A lot has happened since Chrome shipped Same-Document View Transitions in 2023.

In 2024 we shipped Cross-Document VTs, added refinements such as `view-transition-class` and VT Types, and also welcomed Safari in adding VT support.

And this year … well, I wrote a post summing it all up.

TIL, Node.js ships a native `glob` utility since 22.17. 🎉
import { glob } from 'node:fs/promises'; const files = await glob('**/*.txt'); console.log(await Array.fromAsync(files));

🚀The new CSS sibling-index() and sibling-count() functions let us create staggered animations, dynamic color palettes, and even complex circular layouts with ease.

github.com is currently a good example of the consequences of not adopting a "mobile-first" approach, resulting in poor performance and UX on mobile devices.
