Frequently asked questions about the Word-by-Word Text Reveal Scroll Hero

How do I add a Word-by-Word Text Reveal Scroll Hero to my website?+

Copy the source code from the "Copy code" button above and save it as a .tsx file in your components folder.

Import and render the component wherever you need it. Every prop is optional and typed.

Can I use the Word-by-Word Text Reveal Scroll Hero with Claude Code, Cursor, or Lovable?+

Yes. Each prompt tab above is tuned specifically for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Lovable, Replit, and Google Stitch. Paste the prompt into whichever AI coding tool you are using and it will generate a Word-by-Word Text Reveal Scroll Hero matched to your existing file structure, design tokens, and brand color. Claude Code and Cursor work best when your project is already open — they slot the component directly into your codebase. Lovable and Replit are fastest for a standalone preview.

How do I customise the hero design and colors?+

The Word-by-Word Text Reveal Scroll Hero uses Tailwind utility classes throughout, so every color, spacing value, and font weight is one class away from changing. Replace any color class with your brand token (for example, swap `bg-black` for `bg-[#your-hex]`). To change the animation timing, update the `duration-` or `delay-` classes, or pass new values into the Framer Motion `transition` prop if the component uses it. For a full brand restyle, paste the component into Claude Code or Cursor and describe your design system.

Does the Word-by-Word Text Reveal Scroll Hero work with TypeScript?+
