Realistic typewriter effect with blinking cursor, variable speed, and multi-string cycling for React applications.
Typing Text preview
Classic typewriter animation that types text character by character with an authentic blinking cursor. Supports single strings or arrays that cycle through with type-then-delete sequences. Features variable typing speed for natural rhythm, customizable cursor styles, text color cycling, scroll-triggered start, and even reverse typing mode. The cursor blinks with GSAP animation and can be hidden during typing for different aesthetics. Built with GSAP for cursor animation and vanilla React state for typing logic. Perfect for hero introductions, command-line aesthetics, or conversational UI.
