About Paper Curtains

### A Dramatic Scroll Reveal for Text

Paper Curtains places a row of colored strips over your text that peel away with a satisfying, physics-based animation the moment they scroll into view. It's a simple idea executed with polish—perfect for hero headings, pull quotes, or any text that deserves an entrance.

### 5 Fall Directions × 5 Stagger Patterns

Mix and match to create dozens of unique reveal styles:

- Fall Directions: Down, Up, Split, Alternating, and Scatter Drop—each with its own 3D rotation and physics feel.

- Stagger Patterns: Left to Right, Right to Left, Center Out, Edges In, or Random—control the order the strips peel off.

### Full Visual Customization

Every visual aspect of the curtains is exposed in the Framer property panel:

- Solid or Gradient Fill: Switch between a flat color and a configurable linear gradient with start color, end color, and angle controls.

- Border Styling: Add borders to each strip with independent width, color, and style (solid, dashed, or dotted) controls.

- Corner Radius: Round the corners of each strip from sharp rectangles to soft pills.

- Curtain Count & Oversize: Fine-tune how many strips cover the text and how far they extend beyond the text bounds.

### Full Font Control

Uses Framer's native extended font controls—set the family, weight, size, line height, letter spacing, and alignment directly in the property panel. No CSS overrides needed.

### Designer-Friendly Canvas Tools

- Preview Curtains Toggle: Show curtains at rest on the canvas so you can style colors, gradients, and borders visually—then hide them to check the revealed text layout.

### Performant & Production Ready

- Spring Physics: Powered by Framer Motion springs for smooth, hardware-accelerated animation.

- Scroll-Triggered: Uses `useInView` with a `once` trigger so the animation fires exactly once and the strips are removed from the DOM after they fall.
