Twitching Text
I recently stumbled upon this sleek portfolio website of Maxime Heckel. It’s clean and minimalistic and there are a lot of small details and micro-interactions that make it stand out.
But one thing that intrigued me was this twitching text effect which looks quite natural and subtle at the same time.
I dug into this effect and tried to recreate it.
Here’s the CodePen that I ended up with for the same.
See the Pen Animated gradient effect using CSS by Amit Merchant (@amit_merchant) on CodePen.
The entire piece uses a lot of keyframe animations. If you notice, it also uses the data-text attribute to use it as content and animate it further to a realistic looking twitching effect.
