Velocity Countdown Component
A high-performance, motion-blur timer for Framer.
The Velocity Countdown is a production-ready React component designed to replace static, boring timers with cinematic motion. Unlike standard countdowns that update the entire number at once, Velocity treats every digit as a physical object. It utilizes advanced spring physics and motion blur to create a "tick" that feels mechanical, premium, and incredibly satisfying.
1. Independent Digit Animation Most web timers replace the whole number (e.g., "10" becomes "09"). Velocity splits every number into individual digits. When the time changes from 49 to 48, the "4" stays rock solid while only the "9" drops away. This micro-interaction mimics high-end mechanical split-flap displays and financial tickers.
2. Cinematic Motion Blur To simulate speed and fluidity, the component applies a dynamic Gaussian blur (filter: blur(6px)) to numbers as they exit and enter the viewport. This mimics how the human eye perceives fast-moving objects, making the animation feel smoother than a standard 60fps transition.
3. Apple-Style Spring Physics We ditched linear ease-in-out curves for a custom spring simulation (Stiffness: 450, Damping: 35). The numbers don't just "slide"—they snap into place with momentum and settle instantly without bouncing, giving the interface a snappy, responsive feel similar to iOS.
4. Zero-Config Google Fonts Typography makes or breaks a design. The component includes a built-in font loader with a curated list of the top 15 Google Fonts (Inter, Roboto, Space Mono, etc.). You don't need to touch your site settings or import CSS; just select "Space Mono" from the dropdown, and the component handles the rest automatically.
The component is fully customizable directly from the Framer sidebar:
Target Date: Set the exact moment the countdown ends.
Typography: Choose from 15+ curated fonts and 6 font weights (Thin to Black).
Visual Styling: Adjust Font Size, Text Color (Tint), and Label Color independently.
Layout: Control the Gap (spacing between digit groups) to fit dense or airy layouts.
Separators: Toggle the colons (:) between numbers on or off for a cleaner, minimalist look.
Framework: Built on React and Framer Motion.
Rendering: Uses AnimatePresence with mode="popLayout" to ensure entering and exiting numbers overlap perfectly without layout shifts.
Performance: All animations are GPU-accelerated (transform, opacity, filter) to ensure zero main-thread blocking, even on mobile devices.
Responsive: The component scales naturally with font size settings and respects the parent container's layout constraints.
Product Drops: Create hype for a new collection release.
Event Landing Pages: A hero-section timer for webinars or conferences.
Coming Soon Pages: A polished placeholder for sites under construction.
Limited Time Offers: urgency drivers for e-commerce sales.
