Related components

Staggered Text Reveal

Words or characters rise out of their own line-mask on scroll, text is revealed, not faded. Semantic tag control, once-only trigger, reduced-motion fallback.

Split Slide

Multi-line text where alternating lines slide out of their masks from opposite edges with a skew that straightens on landing, editorial title-card energy.

Weight Emphasis

A sentence that makes its point through mass, up to three emphasis words set heavier in primary ink, revealed last in the stagger. Rhythm through weight, not color spam.

Annotate Callouts

Inline annotation system, marked phrases carry numbered mono superscripts wired to margin notes that reveal as each mark scrolls into view. Editorial footnotes, live on the page.

Baseline Wave

A wave travels the baseline once, characters lift and settle as it passes, like a breeze crossing the line. One pass, then stillness.

Ink Bleed

Letters develop like ink on wet paper, each glyph starts as a soft bleed and contracts to crisp edges, neighbouring bleeds wicking together mid-pass. One development, then stillness.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Blur Focus component?

Register the @cleverui registry in your components.json ("@cleverui": "https://cleverops.com.au/r/{name}.json"), then run `npx shadcn@latest add @cleverui/text-blur-focus`. The shadcn CLI copies the source into your project, you own the code from that point. You can also copy the source directly from this page.

What dependencies does Blur Focus require?

Blur Focus uses motion on top of React and Tailwind CSS. You don't need to install it manually, the shadcn CLI resolves and installs npm dependencies automatically when you add the component.

Can I theme Blur Focus to match my brand?

Yes. The component is styled entirely with Tailwind utilities over standard design tokens (primary, background, muted, border), so it inherits your existing shadcn/ui theme automatically. Change your CSS variables and the component follows, no source edits needed for palette, radius, or fonts.
