Split Hover Text Button
On hover the label's letters roll upward one after another and an identical row rolls in from below, like a split-flap board in miniature; the accent copy underneath means the button changes colour letter by letter instead of all at once.
The mechanic
Each letter becomes a 1-em-tall clip box holding two spans stacked vertically. Hover translates both by −100 % with a 0.45 s `cubic-bezier(.2,.8,.2,1)` and a delay of 22 ms × index, which is slow enough to read as a wave across the word but fast enough that an eight-letter word finishes in under 0.6 s. The lower copy is in the accent colour.
How to use it
From prompt to a block in your page.
- 01Try the component
The preview is the shipped element inside a neutral demo page. Hover, click, focus: the one interaction it is about is live.
- 02Pick a palette
Token sets re-tint it live. The prompt carries the one you chose.
- 03Pick your stack
A paste-in snippet, or a component for Next.js, React, Vue, Astro, WordPress, Shopify or Webflow.
- 04Copy the prompt
It quotes the markup, styles and script verbatim with the tokens and the rules that keep it self-contained.
- 05Mount it in your layout
It inherits your page's font and width; the tokens live on :root; several instances share one script.
