Introduces the viewTransition API for web front-ends and explains how it simplifies creating smooth page and state animations by letting the browser handle most of the animation work. Covers using viewTransition across different HTML documents and gives practical guidance and best practices for integrating it into multi-page full-stack sites (Rails, Express, Laravel) as an alternative to manual CSS/keyframe/FLIP animation approaches.
