Modern browsers have gotten really capable as platforms for vanilla web development. How much mileage can we get out of skipping all tooling and using the browser itself as a web framework? What are the alternatives to common framework features like routing, templating, components and reactive state? Let's take a walk down web standards lane and discover what is there, and what is still missing.About Joeri

With View Transitions, you can create immersive native-like experiences that have smooth and seamless transitions between pages in your SPA. With Scroll-Transitions you can drive animations by the act of scrolling. What if you combined both? How does it work? And what about MPA? Could that ever work?About Bramus
