Native browser way, any day
I always *love* @emilkowalski's UI tips! Here's the native browser way to achieve this effect: View transitions do this "fade-out-while-rearranging" behavior by default. You can also customize the transition with CSS (see demo) ::view-transition-old(*):only-child { ... } codepen.io/una/pen/VYjKoae

GitHub should have a repo setting to force squash merging only in a particular branch (e.g. main) but the opposite in other branches (force merge commits).

Haha this is SO relatable to me!

Still the biggest missing piece when building a "design system" component library in React.
