wtf is tegaki?

Tegaki lets you add realistic handwriting animation to any web project, without hiring an animator or manually drawing paths. You just pick a font and write your text, and it animates stroke by stroke as if someone is writing it. This works for landing page headlines, presentation slides, README badges, or anywhere you want that handwritten feel. The tool works at two levels. For developers, it provides a component you drop into React, Vue, Svelte, or several other frameworks, you pass it some text and a font, and it handles the animation. For everyone else, there's a command-line option that generates a self-drawing SVG file from a single command, no code setup required. You can control options like speed, color, size, and whether the animation loops or plays once. Anyone building a website, presentation, or video who wants handwriting animation would use this. A founder might add it to a product page for visual flair. A teacher could use it in slides to make content feel more personal. A developer documenting a project could drop an animated SVG into a README. It supports multiple languages out of the box, including Arabic, Hebrew, Bengali, Japanese, Korean, and Latin scripts, with bundled fonts ready to go. A few things stand out. It has no external dependencies, which keeps projects lightweight. It works across many frameworks rather than being locked to one. For non-SVG output formats like PNG, GIF, or WebM, or for using fonts beyond the bundled ones, the README points to an interactive studio on the project's website.
