6 - Scroll Driven Animations in Stable Chrome, CSS Subgrid, Kirby v4, Responsive Archetypes, Wix AI Builder, and More
Rob is grumpy. In all his excitement about a certain thing being released in stable Chrome, Jay texted him, to which Rob responded in a very lame manner. This must be why Jay keeps giving Rob a hard time on his English pronounciation. There's a actual news this episode as well, and with Jay as our anchorman, we cover it all.

How much access and control do you give Clients in a CMS Control Panel? Jay actively limits clients while Rob gives more - albeit restricted - freedom. Pricing stuff in Web Development is hard, how do we do it? We also have a new segment called Spat Chat 💦.

After looping back around to some previous topics to course-correct, we discuss the web conference circuit and the idea of simply meeting up for fun, à la "Flat Camp" style—Statamic's new conference. Colour models are now supported in all modern browsers so we cover everything from RGB, HSL, through to the newest OKLCH model. Finally, we comb over the release of Statamic version 4.

2 - View Transitions, The Dangers and Advantages of Picking a Small CMS, and Is Safari really "Evergreen"?
Jay got a new King, and Rob's kids sold stuff on a blanket to celebrate the birthday of his King(?!). We tinker with the idea of "View Transitions", the web's answer to soft-loading content—similar to the behaviour of iOS and Android apps. Is it ready for traditional websites? We weigh up Content Management Systems and close off by discussing if Safari is indeed an Evergreen Browser.

1 - Scroll Timeline, Snap Scroll and Jacking, Vanilla CSS, Tailwind, and their Communities
In our pilot episode, Rob and Jay introduce themselves before diving into Scroll-timeline and the desire for native scroll triggering, along with aversions to snap scroll and jacking.
