Measured entry

kokonut-glitch-text

text-effectdark-futuristicmotion on file

A client-side React text effect that stacks animated copies of a label to create a chromatic glitch. It ships as a shadcn registry component, uses Motion for continuous transforms, and expects Tailwind utilities plus the usual cn helper and path alias. Props cover intensity, palette, sizing, weight, spacing, and a static mode.

Verdict

A convincing, configurable accent for short display text, with clean configured builds and no observed layout or accessibility trouble. The Motion cost is substantial for a single effect, and bare mounting fails, so it needs a shadcn-style setup or a small portability pass.

Use it if

  • You need an animated hero wordmark, campaign heading, or short sci-fi label.
  • Your project already uses Motion and shadcn-style Tailwind conventions.
  • You want preset color and intensity controls without designing the animation yourself.
  • You need a static option for contexts where continuous motion is inappropriate.

Skip it if

  • The text is long body copy or must remain calm and easy to scan.
  • You want a dependency-light accent and do not otherwise use Motion.
  • Your codebase does not use Tailwind utilities or an alias-backed cn helper.
  • You need built-in reduced-motion behavior rather than managing that at the call site.

In a non-shadcn project, add Motion, provide the Tailwind utility styles used by the component, create or replace the cn class-merging helper, and configure or rewrite the source alias. Ensure the file runs as a client React component, and add your own reduced-motion policy if required.
