10 Geeky Web Tricks With HTML5 And CSS3

12 Geeky Web Tricks With HTML5 And CSS3

 1.Keylight

This is another very simple interface which allows the user to play with dots to produce music in a graphical manner. Such a user-friendly and easy interface that even small kids can try their hand in creating some beautiful music, and be proud of it.  Designed by the very talented Hakim El Hattab, it consists of a blank 3D-effect space where the user can place many colored dots, each of which play a different tone. These dots can be moved in different ways to modify the tones, changing the speed at the users' will. The song is recorded in the page URL during the whole process. This URL can then be copied and sent to your loved ones.


2. CSS-Man
Who does not know the famous Spider-Man cartoon from the 1960s? This interface is again from Calzadilla, showing Spider-Man in action jumping with his super powers, and also makes a dig at the good old FLASH software.

  1. Sinuious

Are you one of those who is somewhat addicted to games online? This one by Hakim caters to those game-crazy geeks who want to play around with interactive interfaces. The game is very simple and similar to Asteroids, except that it does not have shooting. There are some other features to protect oneself during the game, just like any other video game. Children or adults, irrespective of their age can have real fun playing such a simple game which has very minimal requirements.

  1. Cubespace

This is a wonderful simulation of the good old LEGO bricks. One can pick and drop the colorful cubes and build with them whatever structure one's mind can think of. The user edits them, moves them, plays with them, and the best part is the whole thing can be replayed to see the animation of your creative streak. It is a Cubaliciously engrossing game!

  1. MugTug Darkroom

The Mugtug’s Darkroom is an interface which is very similar to photoshop software, although still not quite as popular as the version by Adobe. It has a wide array of photo editing tools and options, be it exposure, brightness and contrast, saturation, simulation for color blindness, and more of the essential we have come to expect from any application which allows us to 'censor' our images. This application allows the user to edit the images directly from their hard-drive, at their own comfort. The images give a whole new expression on editing and printing.

  1. Apple Gallery Demo

This interface is specific to the machines from Apple. As the name might suggest, it allows the user to have a 3D view of the image. The photo browser gives the user a feeling of seeing the pictures in real space.

  1. Arcade Fire: The Wilderness Downtown

Want some wilderness and uniqueness in an interface? Then this one's definitely for you. This creation for a unique web design will definitely feature in any list of geeky web toys. The interface gives an option for  the user to enter the address where they grew up. Then it creates an online video using Google maps with the technology to highlight childhood memories. The fluid animations used and the lovely song  “We Used to Wait” by Arcade Fire complete the picture and give a surreal experience to the user.

  1. Water Type

Some interfaces do nothing, and are just for displaying the output on-screen in a pleasant manner. This playful little application lets you create a message with a fun water-effect animation. As the user inputs the message, it is automatically displayed like a splash of water, giving a really cool effect, virtually.

  1. Destructive Video

As the name suggests, the interface is to destroy a video being played. The user sees the bunny shooting arrows in the video and clicks on it at the same time, with the video fragmenting into little pieces while playing. And the best part is it reintegrates itself and reappears, after just a few seconds. Have fun with this one!

  1. Checkwave

           Checkwave:
This is again a simple interface created by none other than Hakim, to create a wave of checkboxes. The user just needs to check on the checkbox to visualise a wave moving in the direction of the click, regardless of the point of origin, for example, the corner or the centre. Fun to watch and play with, again the usability aspect is not much.

10 powerful examples of responsive web design

9 powerful examples of responsive web design   “Mobile phones and tablets are responsible for 56.74% of global internet usage.” What is a responsive website? Strictly speaking, responsive websites have three defining features: 1. Media queries “A media query allows us to target not only certain device classes but to actually inspect the physical characteristics of the device rendering our work,” Marcotte explains. Media queries thus allow developers to use condition checks to alter web designs based on the properties of the user’s device. This is superior to simply defining breakpoints in the HTML/CSS, as it’s a more tailored experience for the user. 2. Fluid grids When flexible grids are created using CSS, the columns automatically rearrange themselves to fit the size of the screen or browser window, whether the user is on a 21-inch desktop computer, a 13-inch laptop, a 9.7-inch tablet, or a 5.5-inch mobile phone. “Fluid layouts [….] put control of...

AngularJS - MVC Architecture

Image
AngularJS - MVC Architecture M odel   V iew   C ontroller or MVC as it is popularly called, is a software design pattern for developing web applications. A Model View Controller pattern is made up of the following three parts − Model   − It is the lowest level of the pattern responsible for maintaining data. View   − It is responsible for displaying all or a portion of the data to the user. Controller   − It is a software Code that controls the interactions between the Model and View. MVC is popular because it isolates the application logic from the user interface layer and supports separation of concerns. The controller receives all requests for the application and then works with the model to prepare any data needed by the view. The view then uses the data prepared by the controller to generate a final presentable response. The MVC abstraction can be graphically represented as follows. The Model The model is responsible for managing appl...
