Is there a way to create a Typewriter effect animation in Bricks builder?  
I want to achieve an effect where one word of a sentence is erased then new word is typed out.

There’s an element called ’ Anim. Typing’ in Bricks that does that.

That’s exactly I was looking for, I didn’t know this functionality!  
Thank you!

Anim. Typing needs some polishing to be useful:

1. Need an option to **start** with initial text **visible** (in fact this should be default, with option to hide initial text). We (naturally) want to communicate _something_ on first view, and then reveal that there is more to see.

2. Need an option for **delay time between the typing of words**.

3. The **delay with empty text doesn’t look good** (i.e., at the end of the loop). This might be solved by solving issue 1… but may also need its own handling.

Please consider these feature requests for this element Bricks Team. TY! 🙂

**EDIT:** _I learned from the Bricks team that this uses [Typed.js](https://github.com/mattboldt/typed.js) under the hood, and it seems that Typed.js has these limitations, not Bricks’s implementation of it. So I sent these as feature requests (Issues) on the Github._
