Smoother Transition Between ViewControllers?

[vicc]

First of all thank you for this beautiful project! It's helped bring my app to life! One thing I do ask is if you could implement a smoother transition between view controllers, in terms of content.

For now when you click say Home on the Menu, the viewController slides into fullscreen beautifully, but the content just pops out of nowhere fast. Could you fade the content inside the view (or the whole view) while it's sliding into fullscreen?

The effect is most evident when you have two viewControllers with tableViews inside and a lot of writing. It just appears choppy.

I think you need to optimize your code, probably you're doing synchronous calls instead of asynchronous.

That's not what I meant. I meant it would be pretty cool to have the content cross dissolve in the small viewcontroller when on the side menu, before expanding out. The expanding part works beautiful, I just think the corss dissolve transition would be a beautiful feature to add.

This is a pretty trivial thing to do, here's an example:

DEMOSecondViewController *viewController = [[DEMOSecondViewController alloc] init];
viewController.view.alpha = 0;
[self.sideMenuViewController.contentViewController.view addSubview:viewController.view];
[UIView animateWithDuration:0.3 animations:^{
    viewController.view.alpha = 1;
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
    [viewController.view removeFromSuperview];
    self.sideMenuViewController.contentViewController = viewController;
}];

[self.sideMenuViewController hideMenuViewController];

This code needs to be executed when you switch between view controllers.

I may add a helper function, though.

How would this be done using storyboards, and storyboard identifiers?
