For Cross-Document VTs there is no such property (yet).

We are considering of simply skipping the VT by default in case there was a UA-provided transition (such as a "swipe to go back"). Or would you want this skipping to be opt-in?

For Same-Document View Transitions you can check for hasUAVisualTransition on the event and then skip the VT based on that.

Perfect! You’ll also be able to find me in the 6PS office the day before :)

Thank you, Kind Sir – It’s not only View Transitions or a Scroll-Driven Animations up my sleeve 😅

(But maybe I could try and sneak some into the talk 😛)

There sure are benefits to using frameworks in the short term, but in the long term you’re bound to hit a wall.

It’s a consideration you have to make: how fine are you with the constraints? You seem experienced enough to gauge that and understand the implications, but there are also many people blindly using a framework (as some sort of cargo-cult) without even realizing that there are constraints.

It’s all fun and games until you want to start coloring outside of the lines. Some frameworks allow you to, but many – especially those the farthest away from the underlying language/technology/paradigms – don’t.

(There is still 1 part that has gotten me scratching my head myself … I’m hoping to get some clues from engineering on _why_ a certain thing is the way it is)
Combining Scroll-Driven Animations with @starting-style
How the cascade, the animation-fill-mode, and implicit keyframes make things a bit more complicated then you’d initially think …
