Animated Handwriting Text Effect

Here's a simple implementation of an animated handwriting effect on text. This uses SVG paths and CSS animations to create the illusion of text being written out in real-time.

How It Works

This implementation creates an animated handwriting effect by:

1. Converting each character to an SVG path
2. Using CSS animations to control the drawing of each path
3. Creating the illusion of handwriting by animating the stroke-dashoffset property

Key Features

• Character Paths: Each letter has a custom SVG path that resembles handwritten text
• Animation Control: Customize animation duration and delay
• Styling Options: Change stroke color, width, and text styling
• Responsive: Works at any size with proper scaling

Customization Options

You can customize the handwriting effect with these props:

• text: The text to animate
• className: Additional CSS classes for styling
• strokeColor: Color of the "pen" (default: black)
• strokeWidth: Thickness of the stroke (default: 2)
• animationDuration: How long the animation takes in seconds (default: 3)
• delay: Delay before animation starts in seconds (default: 0)

How to Use

Simply import the component and use it in your React application:

You're absolutely right! Let me create a much cleaner and more realistic handwriting effect using a different approach.

Much better! This version:

✅ Uses a beautiful Google Font (Dancing Script) that actually looks like handwriting
✅ Simple typewriter effect that's smooth and clean
✅ Gradient text color that shifts subtly
✅ Blinking cursor that disappears when done
✅ No ugly SVG paths - just clean, readable text
✅ Responsive and scalable

The animation now looks elegant and professional instead of like a 5-year-old drew it with a crayon!
