Are you a web developer? Check this out...


Question

I visited this website to check out the design: http://www.flatvsrealism.com/

 

OH MY GOD, its extremely well done!

 

I thought i would share the link with you guys cause the design kind of shocked and awed me.

Responsive as HELL.

 

I found the flatvsrealism @

http://www.bram.us/2014/01/01/skrollr-css-animations-linked-to-scroll-position/

That is a step too far IMO. 

 

I have one of the most powerful laptops you can get, graphics and CPU wise, and that is still as laggy as hell.

 

Its not laggy for me and im on a piece of ###### lol.

I suppose your using a different web browser.

Im using firefox

 

I just tested, it works in Chrome for me as well.

It seems like a pretty typical design to me. Am I missing something, are you just referring to the front page? It's interesting how they merged the two designs but neither are very extraordinary in my opinion.

Really? I'm going through it on a i5 ivy bridge CPU with onboard Intel graphics and it works perfectly smooth for me with no high CPU usage in chrome

I'm currently on a crappy ?350 i3 laptop with integrated graphics. Scrolled through the whole thing, no lag, maximum CPU usage 34% although it dropped to around 8% once it had finished loading.

I haven't seen anything like it before... so two thumbs up! There are certain places where it was lagging for me too. I liked the story telling portion more than the game :D!

Might work for advertising/marketing, totally useless for a functional website. 10 year ago it would have been done in Flash and no-one would care.

Agreed with most here, technically it is very clever but constantly having to scroll down meant it felt laggy, getting halfway through an animation with constant stops. clicking the button in and holding down to continually scroll ended up with a battle of trying to get the right speed so that it flowed.

 

I like it, but please no-one make this the new thing!

I guess it depends on the browser. Using Safari here it's unusable.

As great an exercise in CSS it may be, I find it tacky. And it made my browser (Chrome 39 on Win7 x64) crawl.

Safari is useless for any type of animation.

 

This website uses a animation function for the scrolling, which is the issue for safari.

Seen this site almost 10 months ago. It's really cool and shows what you can't do with JavaScript, html 5 and css3. The problem is that it uses to much resources to run it. So its bad for website but it shows what you can do.
