Pretext drops DOM for 60fps JS text animations

Bypassing the DOM for text measurement is a radical approach that unlocks previously impossible text animation performance on the web.

• –Traditional CSS layout thrashing has long been the bottleneck for complex, character-level text effects
• –Moving measurement to pure JS arithmetic allows for deterministic rendering and eliminates layout lag
• –This approach is particularly valuable for WebGL, Canvas, or complex reactive UI frameworks where DOM interaction is expensive
