Measured entry

ruixen-variable-text

chartunclassifiedmotion on file

A client-side React text treatment that splits a string into animated characters and changes their weight, scale, lift, and opacity according to cursor proximity. It ships as a shadcn registry component, uses Motion for springs and transforms, and relies on a local cn utility plus Tailwind classes.

Verdict

A focused choice for short, cursor-led display type, with a clean tested render and no provider requirement. It needs a shadcn-style setup as supplied, and teams should add touch and reduced-motion behavior before treating it as a general-purpose text component.

Use it if

  • You want a short headline or display label to react directly to pointer movement.
  • Your interface already uses Motion and a variable font that can show smooth weight changes.
  • The text is decorative enough that disabling selection is acceptable.

Skip it if

  • The copy is long, since every character creates its own animated element and spring.
  • The interaction must work equally well for touch, keyboard, or reduced-motion users without further adaptation.
  • Users need to select and copy the rendered text.
  • You do not want to add Motion for a single decorative effect.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, install Motion, clsx, and tailwind-merge; add a cn helper or replace that import; configure the at-sign source alias or use a relative path; and provide the referenced Tailwind utilities. Keep it in a client-capable React boundary and use a variable font for the intended weight interpolation.
