Special effects with SwiftUI Text
summary
Shows concrete tricks not vague promises: uses SwiftUI and the TextRenderer protocol (iOS 18+) to render lines, runs, and individual glyphs; implements a striped renderer, a highlight renderer, and a wave renderer with animatable strength (example values 20 and 0.5) plus earthquake and blur variants; offloads per‑pixel warps and recolors to Metal shaders for perspective tilt and distortion; ships a native Mac app called Prismic example project on GitHub; all effects keep live text reflow and accessibility.
