By using a PNG sprite and the steps() timing function in CSS, Codrops taught us how to create video effects and use them as transitions! In the resource, they used this technique to fire a modal window, but you can use it to transition between two different pages as well. First, you need a video with a filling effect and a transparent area. Then you need to export this video as a PNG sequence. You can read the full tutorial on the site.

Bounce is a script that allows you to publish beautiful banner bars on your site with no coding required. Target bars to users based on where they came from, what page they’re on and whether they’re blocking your ads.
You can show a bar to users who have an AdBlocker installed. Ask users to turn off AdBlock or promote alternative ways to support your site. These bars won’t be shown to users who don’t have an active AdBlocker. You can also display different bars based on which site a user was referred from. These bars display your custom message by checking the referrer that visitor came from to help convert users.

There are some simple ideas and effects for unobtrusive website notifications. There are a lot of ways to show an unobtrusive message to a user: from the classic growl-like notification to a bar at the top of the viewport.
There’s really no limit to making creative notification styles and effects but you should keep in mind that notification has to be a discreet message to the user, keep simplicity and subtlety in mind for the effect of appearance and also the disappearance.
Codrops has shared a small set of Notification Style Variations that use CSS animations for showing and hiding the notifications. Some of them are preceded by a dummy loading animation, which could be a nice idea for specific actions that require some time in a system.

Ouibounce is a small library enabling you to display a modal before a user leaves your website. This library helps you increase landing page conversion rates. Ouibounce fires when the mouse cursor moves close to (or passes) the top of the viewport. You can define how far the mouse has to be before Ouibounce fires. The higher value, the more sensitive, and the more quickly the event will fire.
By default, Ouibounce will only fire once for each visitor. When Ouibounce fires, a cookie is created to ensure a non obtrusive experience. Please use Ouibounce to provide value to your visitors. With tools like these it’s very easy to create something spammy-looking.
