Repel Type

TextInteractionAnimation

Big type whose letters run away from the pointer, pushed outward and turned, then spring back; a gentle wave on touch screens.

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/repel-type.tsx.

npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/repel-type.json

Prompt

Install the pastetaste component "Repel Type" (repel-type) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: Big type whose letters run away from the pointer, pushed outward and turned, then spring back; a gentle wave on touch screens.

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/repel-type.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/repel-type.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { RepelType } from "@/components/pastetaste/repel-type" (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 = 'DO NOT TOUCH THE PICTURE' — The line; wraps between words only.
- radius: number = 150 — Pointer reach in px.
- push: number = 90 — Largest displacement in px.
- turn: number = 38 — Largest rotation in degrees.
- follow: number = 0.16 — Spring follow per frame, 0 to 1.
- as: 'h1'|'h2'|'h3'|'p'|'div' = 'h2' — Element.
- className / style: string / CSSProperties — On the root.

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