LCD Text

Seven-segment LCD-style display where characters flicker through random glyphs before settling, with optional CRT scanlines and glow for React applications.

A retro digital readout for the web. Each character starts by rapidly cycling through random uppercase letters and digits — like a flight-board split-flap or a power-on self-test — then locks into its target glyph, with the lock-in cascading from left to right. A subtle CSS scan-line gradient overlays the text for that classic CRT feel, and an optional drop-shadow glow gives the characters their phosphor halo. Built with Motion for the per-character flicker timing and a stable seeded random so server and client agree. Drop it on a status badge, a launch countdown, a hero, or any moment that wants to feel a little bit Apollo-control-room.
