I experimented with view transitions for the first time and the effect is sooo cool! The best part is it only required... 5 lines of code 🤯. I must use this on all my projects now!

Thanks to the new Rails authentication generator, it's very easy to add features such as allowing only one session at a time. It's also very easy to test, thanks to the `open_session` method.

Modern CSS is just sooo good!! - We can create very nice layouts with CSS grid (we can even name the grid areas 🤯) - We have variables - We can easily transform colors and the result feels consistent thanks to OKLCH CSS used to be a pain but now I really enjoy it.
