How to create typewriter effect in Webflow with OpenAI ChatGpt

I was working on a website and I wanted to add a typewriter effect to one of my sections, so I thought: why not use ChatGPT to generate the code for me? And that's exactly what I did!

First, let me explain what a typewriter effect is. Essentially, it's a text animation where each character appears on the screen one at a time, as if it's being typed. It's a great way to add some movement and interest to your website, and it's super easy to create with ChatGPT.

So, I opened up the ChatGPT API and input the following prompt: "Write a jQuery script that creates a typewriter effect on a website, where a string of text is typed out one character at a time in a specific HTML element".

In less than a minute, ChatGPT generated a block of code for me that looked something like this:

‍

t was so simple, I was able to understand the code and it was ready to use. I copied the code, and then headed over to Webflow to add it to my website.

In Webflow, I navigated to the "Settings" menu and selected "Custom Code". I pasted the code into the "body" section, and then I added an HTML element with an id of "demo" where I wanted the typewriter effect to appear on my website.

And that's it! I saved my changes and previewed my website, and there it was - my very own typewriter effect, created using ChatGPT and added to my website using Webflow. It looked great, and it was a really easy process.

I also had the option to customize the animation by changing the text and the typing speed, which is a great way to make it unique for my website.

One thing to keep in mind is that ChatGPT is a powerful language model, but it's not a magic tool that will always generate the perfect code for you. It's important to read and understand the generated code and make any necessary adjustments before adding it to your website.

Overall, I was really happy with how this project turned out. Using ChatGPT to generate the code for my typewriter effect saved me a lot of time and effort, and it was really easy to add the code to my website using Webflow. I would definitely recommend giving it a try if you're looking to add some cool animation to your website.

Hope this was helpful, happy coding!
