departure-board

Departure board is a JavaScript/CSS3 implementation of a rail station departure board. It was created as an experiment to see how browsers handle many transitions simultaneously.

The conclusion was: not great. At the time of posting, I'm getting the following results on my Mac...

  • WebKit - Inconsistent. Sometimes runs smoothy, but most of the time it's jumpy and the whole document often flashes.
  • Firefox - Had the smoothest results, but it looks like it is achieving this by ignoring some transitions when there are too many at once.
  • Opera - Handled the transitions in much the same way as Firefox, except the text appeared blotchy during the transform.
  • IE - Untested.

The CSS styling that is used in this project is heavily based on Jakub Hampl's great article "Designing a departures board with CSS3".
