      Been using View Transitions in my Next.js apps for a while now and wanted more people to try them. Wrote this skill and the demo app so your agent can add them too.

      Next.js

      nextjs.org
      New agent skill: 𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚌𝚝-𝚟𝚒𝚎𝚠-𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜
      
      Add React <𝚅𝚒𝚎𝚠𝚃𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗> animations to any React app. Also covers how Next.js can natively integrate them.
      
      • Animate elements across navigations
      • Slide pages forward and back
      • Smooth loading transitions
      • Composition and accessibility handled

      The Department of State tweets a video of Secretary Marco Rubio. In the video, Rubio says: "Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country."

      The CFTC, the US commodities regulator, has just sued Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois for their efforts to "outlaw, regulate, or otherwise restrain" prediction markets like Kalshi.

      CFTC Sues Trio of States to Reaffirm its Exclusive Jurisdiction Over Prediction MarketsThe CFTC today filed lawsuits challenging the actions of Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois against CFTC-registered designated contract markets.

      And Washington state — which bans online gambling entirely — has added to the list of 20+ state/tribal lawsuits against Kalshi. Arizona has filed criminal charges against the company.
      Washington state, whose unusually strict gambling laws ban online gambling entirely, is among the latest to say Kalshi is violating those laws. They further allege that Kalshi is explicitly targeting young adults, and particularly young adult men, with its marketing and that “Kalshi is now fueling a public health crisis in Washington by promoting and providing illegal online betting in the state under the guise of ‘events trading’ in a financial ‘prediction market.’” They point to Kalshi’s own advertising about how it “cracked the code on legal betting in all 50 states”, likely to preempt Kalshi’s usual excuse that they’re offering trades, not bets.27
