Create a fun quick text flip effect

From the creator

I saw a fun quick flip animation in the Motion examples page, and wanted to see if I could recreate it without duplicating any elements, and I ended up with three solutions. The first two have some flaws, but got there in the end! 🔗 Links ✅ The Motion example: https://bsky.app/profile/citizenofnowhe.re/post/3lheakt2msc2d ✅ My first attempt: https://codepen.io/kevinpowell/pen/LEYPMMw/72dc580d73bb785e19ea12adb462ae70 ✅ My second attempt: https://codepen.io/kevinpowell/pen/LEYPMoP/5a3a3640229cd9d49d01ab7b9e34c1dc ✅ My final solution: https://codepen.io/kevinpowell/pen/ZYzNjbX ✅ Easing Wizard: https://easingwizard.com/ 👉 I’ve got free and premium courses: https://kevinpowell.co/courses ⌚ Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction 01:05 - the HTML 01:58 - My first attempt with keyframe animations 03:30 - You can’t animate or transition inline elements 04:05 - My second attempt using box-shadow 07:39 - My final solution using translate and transform 12:18 - Updating the final solution to make it easier to modify #css -- Come hang out with other dev's in my Discord Community 💬 https://discord.gg/nTYCvrK Keep up to date with everything I'm up to ✉ https://www.kevinpowell.co/newsletter Come hang out with me live every Monday on Twitch! 📺 https://www.twitch.tv/kevinpowellcss --- Help support my channel 👨‍🎓 Get a course: https://www.kevinpowell.co/courses 👕 Buy a shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/making-the-internet-awesome 📽️ Join as a channel member: https://youtube.com/@KevinPowell/
