Folks said we should make it less secret.
So we did.

commitStyles() has existed for years, but now in Firefox, it behaves like I always thought it should. Firefox is the first to make this change, but hopefully others will follow soon. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

The task scheduling API helps you take a large synchronous task, and chunk it up into smaller pieces, yielding to the event loop and rendering along the way. It’s now in Chrome & Firefox, but there’s a polyfill for Safari users. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

URLPattern lets you parse URLs using familiar route syntax. It’s now in Chrome & Firefox, but it’s likely to land in the next version of Safari. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

I'm missing something. If I set the transform origin to the cat's face, and applied a scale, wouldn't I get this animation rather than one that brings the cat's head into the centre?
