Our Commentary ​

Okay, this is a neat trick! sibling-index() is one of those CSS features that feels like a superpower when you find the right use case. Mimicking View Transitions without the actual API is a clever workaround for broader browser support. I love seeing these creative approaches to push what CSS can do. It's a good reminder that sometimes the simplest ideas yield the most elegant solutions.
