UX Tip + Demo
Using a modal to display an item’s details avoids a full page load. It reduces navigation time, preserves context, and feels calmer for users.
Below, try two Instagram-like posts. One opens in a modal with a softly blurred background and smooth transitions. The other redirects to a new page.

Modal preview: quick look without losing your place.

Redirect: full page with its own URL and layout.
