Taking yours as a reference, I have now created my own version.

Small "umm actually" for a lightbulb to flicker it would need to be a fluorescent bulb, the light in your demo is incandescent :)

p.s incandescent flicker can also be a thing, i've been through this on here before

Fair enough, I guess, in theory, yes but it's more of an electrical issue than a bulb one. It's just usually known for the gas ones to flicker because of the starter.

yeah 💯 thing is, designing this as a fluorescent loses the charm and leaves it a little "dead" looking 😅 incandescent flicker often occurs with power mismatch or a bulb that's on the way out/loose. good proof, plug into a dimmer switch where it's incompatible 😅

Oh yeah I agree. When I think of a light bulb I think of an incadescent one flicker be damned 👌

This is a really clever use of linear(). I love how it adds a bit of analog realism to the theme switch. Curious if you've experimented with combining this with other view transition types, like for individual elements, to create even more complex effects?

CSS Trick 🍏 You can create that Apple-style blowout text effect with CSS scroll animations and fixed positioning ⚡️ .word { animation: blowout; animation-timeline: --section; } @​keyframes blowout { 0%, 95% { background: transparent; } to { transform: translateZ(99vh); background: #000; } } The trick here is to fix the position of some things in your layout and then animate them based on their non-fixed containers ⭐️ The .word is position: fixed within a that has a height of 200vh section { view-timeline: --section; } section:first-of-type { height: 200vh; } Every section has a view-timeline: --section that creates a scoped ViewTimeline for each section's children 🤙 As that first section scrolls out of view, you increase its opacity and move it on the z-axis towards you. That gives it the impression of scaling up 🆙 .word { animation: blowout, fade-in; animation-timing-function: ease-in; animation-fill-mode: both; animation-timeline: --section; animation-range: exit-crossing 10% exit 0%; } You can use the exit-crossing range combined with the exit range to get a timing you like ✨ Definitely experiment with these ranges to see how they play. The timing function creates interesting effects too! At the same time as the text scales up, you need to fade in the video and the text that goes with it. Again, you can use the parent container's ViewTimeline --section p, video { animation: fade-in, fade-out; animation-timing-function: ease-in; animation-fill-mode: both; animation-timeline: --section; } p { animation-range: entry 10% entry 35%, exit 0% exit 25%; } video { animation-range: entry 0% entry 25%, exit 10% exit 35%; } The timings are slightly different here. Again, you can play with them to get something that feels right for you! @​keyframes fade-in { to { opacity: 1; }} @​keyframes fade-out { to { opacity: 0; }} Theoretically, you should be able to do something with animation-direction: reverse/alternate like yesterday's demo video { animation: fade 2 both linear alternate-reverse; } The trick with this effect is all about timing and creating containers that are bigger than the content and using them to drive the animations 🏎️ The scroll-driven signature is a bonus! ✍️ Perhaps a follow-up on that one 🤙 As always, any questions, requests, etc. Hit me up! With this demo, the GreenSock ScrollTrigger code is included where the CSS scroll-driven animations API is not supported 🙌 That means you could use this demo today! CodePen.IO link below! 👇
