Text Bounce

Letters bounce away from the cursor on hover and spring back into place.

Prompt
Add Atelier's Text Bounce to my app.

If there is no components.json, run: npx shadcn@latest init -d
Then run: npx shadcn@latest add @atelier/text-bounce
That writes the atelier-ui skill under .agents/skills and .claude/skills. Follow it.

Props: pause={0} outDuration={0.35} inDuration={0.8} bounce={0.5} distance={35} rotation={25}

Just into your favorite coding agent and let Atelier do its magic. Live props are included.


This command will install all the dependencies this component uses.

npx shadcn@latest add @atelier/text-bounce

Install the dependencies first, then feel free to copy the files into your project as you see fit.

Each letter drifts away from the cursor on hover, then springs back into place.

<TextBounce>Enter your text here</TextBounce>

Choose the wrapper element

Pass render to choose the wrapper element. Your props are merged with the component's, so it stays the right semantic tag while keeping the animation. Without render the text renders inside a <span>.

<TextBounce render={<p className="text-4xl" />}>Enter your text here</TextBounce>
