You either stay vigilant daily or ignore it for long enough to the point of catastrophe and refactor once every 2 years 😭

Moving squares on a grid with view transitions Just a fun experiment with `startViewTransition`. I realize this could all be done with less JS, but playing around with the API was the whole purpose....

View transitions are mind-blowing. The absolute trivial amount of JavaScript it takes to make this shuffling effect work is astounding.

I mean, I actually spend more lines *changing the background color* than I do moving elements around! 🀯

The html date input works well up to a point. It unfortunately isn’t versatile due to the lack of format control beyond os locale. The unstylable calendar also makes it a bummer for design systems.
