An article on how to achieve Medium’s next page transition effect—an effect that can be seen by clicking anywhere on the “Read Next” footer at the bottom of the page. This effect is characterized by the lower article easing upward as the current article fades up and out.
3 – Fullscreen Layout With Page Transitions
A simple responsive layout with some fancy page transitions. The idea is to show four items initially and expand them. Some additional page transitions are added for inner items.

6 – ElementTransitions.js

10 – Backbone Page Transitions
Animating between different views in Backbone JS.
This is a small Backbone JS application that shows how we can animate views in Backbone JS. The animation effects have been generated using CSS3. The advantage of this application is that you need not to change anything in your views to apply the transition effect. This plugin only changes the way the viiews are rendered in the main application. This plugin has a render method that will render the views and apply necessary classes for the transition.
11 – KnockbackNavigators.js
KnockbackNavigators.js provides page navigators, a pane navigator, and transition animations to help you make dynamic, single-page applications. They are platform-agnostic so you can even use them without using Knockback.js or Knockout.js!
12 – Split Layout
A template for a split layout with two sides. When clicking on a half in the initial view, the layout moves into the respective direction with some transition effects.
This Blueprint is a layout with two sides, sometimes seen in portfolio websites of couples and partners. The idea is to show an initial two-sided view and when clicking on a side, the whole page transitions into the respective direction. The individual page of the selected person is shown.
The Blueprint comes with some example media queries and a second demo where the disappearing side scales down. It will work in modern browsers (from IE9 on).
