Typewriter Terminal
A dark terminal-chrome window (traffic-light dots, monospace font) with a sidebar list of questions and a main pane that types out the selected answer one character at a time, with a blinking cursor at the end.

Installation
A real shadcn registry command, not a copy-paste stand-in: it fetches this block plus its dependencies and any missing npm packages, and installs them straight into your project.
npx shadcn add https://staaarter.com/r/typewriter-terminal.jsonPrefer not to use the CLI? Copy the source from the Code toggle above into src/components/blocks/faq/faq59.tsx instead.
Usage
The file also exports faq59Demo, the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working section in one line, then replace it with your own data.
import { Faq59, faq59Demo } from "@/components/blocks/faq/faq59"; export default function Page() { return <Faq59 {...faq59Demo} />; }
Props
| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| heading | string | none | Section heading. |
| description | string | none | Supporting copy under the heading. |
| prompt | string | "support@" | Shell prompt prefix shown before 'faq ~ $'. |
| faqs | FaqItem[] | none | List of question/answer entries, question shown as a slug-style command. |
| className | string | none | Extra classes for the outer section element. |
Types
interface FaqItem { question: string; answer: string; }
Behavior notes
- Real interactivity: clicking a question in the sidebar switches the active entry and restarts a character-by-character typing effect over its answer, driven by setInterval on a fixed 18ms tick and cleared on unmount or re-trigger.
- The dark terminal chrome (window dots, monospace, near-black background) is a deliberate one-off stylistic exception for this terminal-themed block, still built entirely from semantic tokens plus neutral-950/neutral-800 for the window frame.
- The blinking cursor after the typed text is a CSS animate-pulse span, purely decorative.
