On Mar 25, 2026 I gave a talk at a devs.gent Meetup. The talk was called “Cranking View Transtions up to 11” and explored the more adventurous side of View Transitions.

Ever wondered what happens when you push the View Transition API beyond its documented limits? This talk throws caution to the wind and explores the wild side of View Transitions, cranking them up to 11. We’ll combine them with Scroll-Driven Animations, trigger them automatically with MutationObserver, and even resurrect classic Internet Explorer’s Page Transitions using this modern API. Prepare for unconventional use cases, unexpected results, and a healthy dose of experimentation as we venture beyond the spec. If you’re a web developer who loves to tinker and push boundaries, this is the talk for you.

I also gave this talk at Beyond Tellerrand 2026 about a month later. You can find the slides of the talk in the Beyond Tellerrand 2026 post.
