📖 The Problem

Creating animated typography for websites, presentations, and social media typically requires heavy libraries like GSAP, After Effects, or complex CSS frameworks. Designers spend hours writing keyframe code for simple text effects. Developers copy-paste animation snippets from Stack Overflow and spend more time customizing than building.

There's no lightweight, visual tool that lets you see the animation instantly and export clean, dependency-free code you can drop into any project.

✨ How it works

You type:     "Hello World"
You pick:     Wave animation, 800ms duration, 50ms stagger
You see:      Letters ripple in a smooth wave, one by one
You export:   Clean HTML + CSS — paste anywhere, no libraries needed

That's the entire UX — type, pick, preview, export.

💡 Architecture Decisions

Why single HTML? Typography animation is a visual tool — it needs to load instantly and work offline. A single file means zero build step, zero CDN dependency, and zero failure mode. Open the file in any browser and it works.

Why client-side only? Animation is inherently a client-side task. CSS keyframes run on the GPU, not the server. There's nothing to compute server-side — the browser IS the animation engine.

Why no GSAP/Framer Motion? The goal is to export CLEAN, standalone code that anyone can paste into their project. Heavy animation libraries defeat the purpose. Pure CSS keyframes work everywhere, load instantly, and need zero configuration.

🧪 Try these examples

Input	Animation	Effect
Hello World	Wave	Classic ripple effect
Welcome	Bounce	Playful drop with squash
ERROR	Glitch	Digital distortion vibe
Loading...	Typewriter	Sequential reveal
MI MO	Cascade	Waterfall entrance
