Super cool. I really appreciate gadgets like this to add a little flare to existing elements on the page.
This would be really awesome to combine with animography somehow: https://codepen.io/airnan/details/JbOrbV
Cool! A while ago I was experimenting with something like this but using CSS text-shadow instead: https://codepen.io/enhdless/pen/NYMpEw
In the 90s I bought a copy of a small software called 3D Font Creator (Fun fact - I was able to find it on Amazon [1] now...) , that did something like this. I used it to create cool little logos for my personal homepage and such. Just a bit amusing how far we've come in web technologies that this is all JS and CSS now.

Nice! 3D is not exactly my taste, but I like this. It's all text, you can still select it. That was a good surprise for me, since it's not very common when you see any advanced visual effect on text in the web.
That's a clever and beautiful "hack" (in the positive sense of the word). I could see this being useful for adding to the CSS spec (text shaders, perhaps?)
This is pretty fun! I appreciate that accessibility was addressed as well (although I'm unqualified to assess how well it works in practice).
This is very cool! Would be a lot of fun to combine this with an animation library and do lyric videos for songs but with pure js...
Looks very nice! You mind me asking why you’re not creating a separate GitHub-Repository for this (or your other projects)?
I use GitHub stars as a kind of bookmark for interesting libraries that I’d love to try out at some time in the future, so I’d love to give yours a star, but it’s not a standalone repo :(
Love it. Going to try it out in a subtle place on our site soon. Will send a link if it hits production :)
Very simple, looks great.
The kind of thing that instantly feels like it should be part of standard CSS.
Having spent some time wrangling colors recently, I'd love to know how you came up with the palette used for the letters in the top title. Any clues welcomed!
Very nice presentation, saw the title thought it's a WebGL lib with text vectorization and extrusion though.. Glad it's achievable by this method
Reminds me of YTMND. The good old days...
This is a brilliant library, Bennett. Very fluent documentation too. Congratulations on the release!
One of the coolest little (well probably big) projects I've seen in ages! Great job!
How popular is “download this minified file and use it!” Vs. Package management?
I feel like that’s an instant turn off. I don’t want to manually manage all my stuff.
Or is there some middle ground where people just put a URL to the download in their package manager solution, whatever it is.
Long live Word Art!
Very cool project!
Very nice!
I loved the EMOJI idea. Super cool. Congratulations
kb != kB.
Thank you. I don't need it but I donated because I think it's very well presented. Love the idea of a single, focused, tightly documented lib that does its one thing well and avoids scope creep.
I appreciated your putting the suggested tip amount right up front. Are you finding that to be as effective as you hoped? Have you tried other more/less in-you-face techniques?
