I’m very excited about this proposal for animating transitions between web pages!
I’m less excited about doing it for single page apps, but I get why it’s the simplest place to start.
This builds on Jake’s earlier proposal which I always thought was excellent and much needed. I’m not the only one. Chris agrees.
It would be nice to be able to animate the transition between pages if we want to on the web without resorting to hacks or full-blown architecture choices to achieve it.
Amen, Chris, amen!
The danger here is that you might pick a single-page app just for this ability, which is what I mean by having to buy into a site architecture just to achieve this.
Given the widespread browser support for prefers-reduced-motion now, this approach makes a lot of sense.
What a great way to play around with CSS animations!
