Beyond the Spec: Cranking View Transitions up to 11 (Safely, Maybe)

Bramus Van Damme at Everyman Cinema on 7th May, 2026.

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.

Special thanks to Clockwise, Firefox, Genio, IMA, Mindful Design, Parallax, Stac, Tetra Logical, With Jack, and WRK Digital for supporting this talk.
