In Part 1, we covered the gotchas that bite you first: the deprecated meta tag that silently does nothing, the 4-second timeout that kills transitions without telling you, the image distortion that turns every aspect ratio change into silly putty, and the pagereveal/pageswap events that give you hooks into the transition lifecycle.
All of that gets you from “nothing works” to “one element transitioning nicely between two pages.” Which feels great. For about five minutes. Then you try to build a product listing page with 48 cards that each need to morph into a detail view, and you realize the tutorials left out the hard part.
This is where it gets real. Let’s scale this thing.
