Ring Text

TextAnimation

Text set on a slowly turning circle around a centre node: scroll cues, stamps, badges. The string is stretched to close the ring exactly.

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/ring-text.tsx.

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

Prompt

Install the pastetaste component "Ring Text" (ring-text) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: Text set on a slowly turning circle around a centre node: scroll cues, stamps, badges. The string is stretched to close the ring exactly.

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/ring-text.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/ring-text.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { RingText } from "@/components/pastetaste/ring-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 — The ring text. End with a separator like " · " so repeats read well.
- radius: number = 72 — Radius of the text baseline in px.
- fontSize: number = 11 — Font size in px.
- speed: number = 18 — Seconds per turn.
- reverse: boolean = false — Turn the other way.
- color: string = currentColor — Text colour.
- letterSpacing: number = 0.18 — Letter spacing in em.
- children: ReactNode — Centre node.
- className: string — Extra classes on the root.
- style: CSSProperties — Inline style overrides.

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