view-transitions VS flipjs

true, but HTML-only websites are often pretty clunky

infuriatingly, if HTML had just a bit more oomph, we could make a lot better websites with it, but they haven't been moving HTML forward as a hypermedia for decades now (see https://htmx.org for what I mean, they could implement this concept in the browser in a week, and it would change web development dramatically)

the upcoming view transitions API will help:

but, still, there are some really obvious and simple things that could be done to make HTML much more compelling (let's start by making PUT, PATCH and DELETE available in HTML!)

Cool answer: Look at shared element transition. this is gonna be really cool one day, sadly not yet out of the proposal state... https://github.com/WICG/shared-element-transitions

Native features faster: Quickest path to utilizing native features/UX improvements once they are released, no need to wait for a third party implementation. Example: shared element transitions first came to native, then were replicated on the web.

Lol yes, can’t edit now sorry.

I took the experimental page transition API (a.k.a. shared element transitions) for a test drive with SvelteKit, and the result was pretty slick. You’ll need Chrome Canary with the chrome://flags/#document-transition flag enabled if you want to try this one out yourself — the original tweet has a video if you don’t want to jump through those hoops. There’s a live demo and a GitHub repo if you want to see how it was accomplished.

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "yet"

There's also the developer guide https://github.com/WICG/shared-element-transitions/blob/main/developer-guide.md.

So we know that the transition can affect the user experience, and make them feel more connected when navigating our pages. Recently, Google Chrome announce Transition API, you can check the introduction here, the way it works in my understanding is by taking a “screenshot” of the two elements that will be transitioned. This API can be used via Javascript or CSS, this makes the transition can be easily controlled. Unfortunately, this API is still in experimental mode, we need to download Chrome Canary and enable the transition API manually, luckily we have an alternative option which is vue-starpot. The vue-starpot is a Vue library to animate a component across the routes, the way it works is by hoisting the component that we want to animate to the root of the page using Teleport, then implementing FLIP technique to the component when the route changes.
