Mid May, at this year’s Google I/O, Una and I gave a talk “What’s new in Web UI” live at Shoreline in the Chrome tent. The talk was recorded and you can watch it here:

Take a fast-paced tour of the latest UI features landing in browsers today, with a lens on making beautiful web experiences. From updates to interactive capabilities like scroll-triggered animations and scoped view transitions, to the latest in UI components, learn how to build performant interfaces using native CSS and HTML primitives. Discover how to ship better user experiences with less code.

You can find all the demos in this handy CodePen collection. On Chrome for Developers, we have an accompanying blog post that covers the contents of this talk.
