Blotter is a JavaScript library for rendering unconventional text effects in the browser using GLSL shaders through WebGL, without requiring designers to write shader code. It renders text into canvas elements with a shared WebGL context and texture atlasing for performance.

Use cases

• create animated text effects for website headings
• apply GLSL shader effects to titles without writing GLSL
• make playful stylized text graphics for landing pages
• render distorted or liquid text animations in the browser
• build creative typography for design portfolios
• add channel-split or distortion effects to hero text

When to choose

• you need eye-catching animated text for titles, headings, or graphic elements
• you want shader-based text effects without GLSL expertise
• you prefer a lightweight library over heavy animation frameworks for typography

When to avoid

• you need selectable or accessible body text - Blotter renders to canvas so text is not selectable
• you need long paragraphs of styled text
• you need a library with active development and recent releases
