Field notes
The renderer places its canvas over real DOM text; the page says that text remains selectable, copyable, and readable to screen readers. Its time input can be driven by a CSS custom property, including a scroll-linked timeline, and the Studio shows plugin examples such as embroidery, spray paint, and text on a path. The homepage lists framework adapters and says thirteen fonts are ready to import.
