  • motion (scroll animation) effects (we want pages created using fastn to be fancy)
  • view transitions (fancy)
  • page size reduction: common.js (dependencies used in index.ftd file), and doc-name.js (for each document we will do a dependency delta from common.js, and that documents js, put them in doc-name.js).

Please take a look at importmap, it can help us in in improving code readability and simplify how we are resolving our js dependencies.
