## What it does

Built on [Text Flipping Board](https://ui.aceternity.com/components/text-flipping-board) by aceternity, Aceternity License (free components). The write-up and recipes below are varg's.

Dark tiles with a center seam, each walking through letters and settling left to right with mechanical clicks.

**When:** A memorable short line: a result ("SHIPPED IN 2 DAYS") or a three-word review.

**Watch out:** Do not use more than ~20 characters; long boards flip forever and nobody reads them.

**Timing:** 1.2–2 s total, tiles settle 40–60 ms apart; add a soft click SFX per settle.

**Also called:** departure board, solari board, flip board quote

### In HyperFrames

```bash
npx hyperframes add split-flap-board
```
Each cell's drum position is derived from time, so seeking any frame shows the right letter.

### In Remotion

```tsx
const settleAt = i*2 + 20; // frames
const ch = frame>=settleAt ? target[i] : ABC[(frame + i*3) % ABC.length];
```

### In CapCut

Text → Text templates → search "flip"/"board"; or use Animation In "Flip" per letter layer.
