Turbo 8 Page Refreshes ( Morphing) Explained at Length | Jon

I’ve spent the last several days reading, consuming, and understanding the new Turbo 8 Page Refresh ( morphing) feature as much as possible. Like tracking down breadcrumbs between various blog posts, PR descriptions, PR conversations/comments, code comments, and implementation details, there’s a lot of little details sprinkled around Github and the Basecamp blog! Individually, none of these breadcrumbs painted the full picture for me. But I think I’ve got it all sorted out in my head now, so I wanted to write this extensive post explaining how it all works, how one might design their code with this system, some of its drawbacks, and why it’s so great. This is a long one. Strap in!.
