Shimmer Text

Text

About

A span of text with a soft band of light sweeping across it now and then, built with one paused CSS animation that stops when scrolled off screen and falls back to plain text under reduced motion.

Built with React and Tailwind. Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable: your agent adds Shimmer Text to your project and fits it to your theme.

Code

How Shimmer Text is used: the demo's code. The component's own source comes with a free account.

Usage.tsx

import { ShimmerText } from "@/components/ui/shimmer-text";

export default function ShimmerTextDemo() {
  return (
    <div className="flex h-screen w-full items-center justify-center bg-background">
      <ShimmerText className="text-2xl font-medium text-muted-foreground">
        Charting a course…
      </ShimmerText>
    </div>
  );
}
