A curated list of fun and flashy text animation libraries

I came across a few visually satisfying text animation libraries and wanted to share: - https://github.com/jschr/textillate - https://github.com/alexmacarthur/typeit - https://animejs.com/ - https://lukepeavey.com/split-type (SplitType + GSAP combo) They're great for landing pages, micro-interactions, or just for fun. Let me know if you’ve seen other cool text animation projects — especially ones that feel lightweight and easy to plug into a basic site.
