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.

Blur Focus

Words rack into focus one after another, a camera pulling the sentence sharp. Blur, opacity and a breath of letter-spacing resolve in reading order.

Dot Matrix Print

The headline prints as a dot-matrix raster, a carriage sweeps once and canvas dots sized by ink density pop in column by column. React and Tailwind tokens via probes; one accent word in primary.

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.

Marker Highlight

A marker swipe draws itself behind the key phrase when it scrolls into view, hand-drawn energy with drafting-table restraint, SVG-stroked in the accent ink.

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Line Echo 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-line-echo`. 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 Line Echo require?

Line Echo 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 Line Echo 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.
