Measured entry

eldora-wavy-text

text-effect3dmotion on file

A client-side React text effect shipped as a shadcn registry item. It splits a string into separate Motion-powered heading elements and loops each character vertically with staggered timing. It depends on React, Motion, clsx, and Tailwind utility classes, including a project-defined display font class.

Verdict

A lively, easy-to-read effect for short display copy, but not production-ready as pasted. Its narrow-screen overflow and character-per-heading markup need correction. Best for teams already carrying Motion and willing to adjust responsiveness and semantics.

Use it if

  • You need a short animated wordmark or hero accent on layouts with controlled width.
  • Your project already uses Motion and Tailwind, so the effect adds little integration work.
  • You can revise the rendered elements to preserve sensible heading semantics.

Skip it if

  • The text must fit reliably on narrow screens without custom wrapping or responsive sizing.
  • You need accessible heading markup out of the box, since every character becomes its own heading and spaces produce empty headings.
  • You want a lightweight text flourish without bringing in Motion.
  • The copy is long, dynamic, or localized, where character spacing and overflow become harder to control.

In a non-shadcn project, copy the component into the client bundle, install React, Motion, and clsx, and provide Tailwind with the referenced utility classes. Define the display font class or replace it, then add responsive wrapping or scaling and render characters inside one semantic heading.
