Cool for many other things too, but especially cool for cross-document view transitions: finally you can tell front ⏩ from back ⏪! Honestly, trying to replace the default cross-fade with directional animations without the Navigation API is a bit like driving without turn signals.
This API is SOOOOOOO good … can't wait for it! 🤩

I'm using it on some demos over at view-transitions.chrome.dev.

Get the details about this API at developer.chrome.com/docs/web-pla...
