Plax
June 2, 2011
After doing the parallaxing illustrations for GitHub’s 404 and 500 pages, I decided it might be fun to put together some kind of jQuery plugin to make it easier to do parallax stuff in the future. I finally had a chance to get around to it while parallaxifying the illustration on the about page. There’s plenty of more I want to do with it, but this should be a good enough piece to get you Plaxing.
Be sure to check out the demo and the documentation. You can also fork/contribute to Plax on GitHub
