Focus Pull Text

TextAnimation

Text that comes into focus word by word: blurred, slightly enlarged and loosely tracked at first, sharp and settled when it scrolls into view.

Paste it into Claude Code: it installs the component, asks for your brand and content, and places it on the page you name.

Install

Or by hand, in a Next.js project with shadcn set up. It writes components/pastetaste/focus-pull-text.tsx.

npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/focus-pull-text.json

Prompt

Install the pastetaste component "Focus Pull Text" (focus-pull-text) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: Text that comes into focus word by word: blurred, slightly enlarged and loosely tracked at first, sharp and settled when it scrolls into view.

Before you place it, ask me (one short message, in my language; "skip" = sensible default): which page and section it goes in, my brand colour (hex), the text, labels or images it should show, and whether I want my logo or my own copy in the demo content. Then:

Steps:
1. If the project has no components.json, run: npx shadcn@latest init -y -d. Then run: npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/focus-pull-text.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/focus-pull-text.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { FocusPullText } from "@/components/pastetaste/focus-pull-text" (check the file for the exact named export).
3. Put it where it fits on the page I name, keep the rest of the page untouched, and pass props for my colours instead of editing the installed file.
4. It does not depend on Tailwind; colours come from CSS variables (--pt-*) or props.
5. It supports prefers-reduced-motion with a still state; do not remove it.

Props (all optional unless the type has no default):
- text: string — Text to reveal.
- blur: number = 14 — Starting blur radius in px.
- scale: number = 1.08 — Starting scale of each word.
- spread: number = 0.08 — Extra starting letter-spacing in em.
- order: 'reading' | 'centre' = 'reading' — Order in which words sharpen.
- stagger: number = 90 — Delay between words in ms.
- duration: number = 0.9 — Seconds each word needs to sharpen.
- delay: number = 0 — Start delay in seconds.
- repeat: boolean = false — Replay when the text re-enters the viewport.
- threshold: number = 0.35 — Visible fraction needed to start.
- as: 'span' | 'h1' | 'h2' | 'h3' | 'p' | 'div' = 'span' — Rendered element.

Then run the dev server, check it in the browser at desktop and mobile width, and tell me the page URL.
