Reveal text effect
Matt Perry
In this tutorial, we're going to build the Reveal text effect example step-by-step.
This example is rated intermediate difficulty, which means we'll spend some time explaining the Motion APIs we've chosen to use, but it assumes familiarity with JavaScript as a language.
Here's a live demo of the example we're going to be creating:

Introduction
The Reveal text effect example shows how to create an elegant hover animation where text slides upward to reveal alternative content underneath. This effect uses the hover function from Motion to detect hover interactions and the animate function to create smooth vertical animations.
The hover function makes it easy to add enter and exit animations to elements, while animate provides a simple way to animate DOM elements with hardware-accelerated transforms.
