you've outdone yourself here.

🥰🥰

Nice demo. Loosely related: I have mixed feelings about Chrome 'pushing' the web forward.

bram.us•71 days ago

This is a project made just for fun.

https://view-transitions.chrome.dev/ holds some real demos you could/should take inspiration from.

franklaemmer.de•71 days ago

View transitions are ace, they can help to improve UX. Your demos are always a great source, fan boy since scroll-timeline. I can wait until stuff will land in Firefox and up until then it's progressive enhancement.

bram.us•71 days ago

Well, this put a smile on my face. Thank you :)

bram.us•71 days ago

Curious to hear what your concerns are, though. Slide in my DMs, drop me an email (bramus is my LDAP), write a blogpost, … whatever you prefer :)

You probably could create some awesome 90's vibe with the swipe down one... maybe with a long animation speed to resemble the old modem image loading 😅

bram.us•71 days ago

Needs a sound effect too :-D

And while you’re at it: needs to be undeprecated too!

bram.us•70 days ago

You can easily recreate `` with CSS ;)

redfeet.nl•70 days ago

Unfortunately yes

redfeet.nl•71 days ago

Bring back too!

k17.dev•71 days ago

Oh the nostalgia vibes are hard 😊
Excellent work!

I had an IE-only slide deck thing that used these (and 'behaviours', which were awful, and was written using VBScript) in 2003ish.

bram.us•71 days ago

The good ole days where we could write VBScript in IE and have it open up the CD-ROM tray on page load 🥲

k17.dev•71 days ago

Yeah, I inherited a system that needed IE7 because they'd used custom VB controls and they didn't want to rewrite it. It was still there when I left in 2016ish. Absolute cyber security existential horror, but it interfaced with their physical punch clocks (over COM+).

fvoort.omg.lol•71 days ago

Don’t show this to *that* ceo.

crespo.at•71 days ago

I thought you were joking, but apparently IE page transitions did exist for real.

bram.us•71 days ago

TOTALLY!

I have a section in the README dedicated to it: https://github.com/bramus/ie-page-transitions?tab=readme-ov-file#internet-explorers-page-transitions

jakob-e.bsky.social•41 days ago

Now bring back so we can get rid of all that SPA stuff too 😜

joshuakgoldberg.com•71 days ago

OH HELL YEAH

sassquad.net•71 days ago

What are you doing?! Don't encourage IE5 to come back nooooooooooo!

oiyouyeahyou.bsky.social•71 days ago

Don't recollect of this in IE, but this is giving me the biggest PowerPoint vibes I've had for maybe a decade 😀

bram.us•71 days ago

The effects they implemented back then were those from PowerPoint, so you're 100% correct! 😁

zoltandulac.bsky.social•71 days ago

I used to do IE polyfills all the time, but the most complex was one that converted CSS3 transforms to IE's Matrix filter. Nicely done. :-)

bram.us•71 days ago

IE’s Matrix filter … blast from the past! 🤩

zoltandulac.bsky.social•71 days ago

Even made one of these:

Funny, when I first heard the proposal, I asked if we were going back to IE again. And here we are. Thanks for bringing it full circle!

bram.us•71 days ago

This is still in early preview. Some effects are still missing and I still need to figure out how to get this served from CDNs like esm.sh or skypack.dev (they spit out build errors for some reason … even though there is no build step)
