# Slot Text

> Dependency-free text-roll animation for tiny, tactile UI labels. Each character sits in its own clipped cell and slides to its new glyph with a springy overshoot — the new glyph enters from one side while the old slides out the other, chasing it by a stagger step. Pure CSS transforms, GPU-composited. Thin React wrapper over the slot-text package (npm i slot-text); supports direction, stagger, bounce and a chromatic color sweep.
