The flood between pages

When you move between pages here, wax rises over the screen and drains away on the new page. There is no client-side router: it’s a cross-document view transition.

Each page has a hidden element, the flood, with its own view-transition-name. During the transition its group is animated from below the screen to covering it and back, while the old page fades out underneath and the new one fades in.

Respecting motion settings

With reduced motion, the transition is switched off entirely and pages simply load.
