# Scale Letter Text

> Scale letter text component

A Text Effect component for React, Tailwind and shadcn by @karthikmudunuri, version 1.0.0, MIT licence.

Renders text with animated scaling and rotation effects on hover. Each letter reacts based on its position relative to the hovered letter. Use for visually engaging text displays.

## Install
