Recipe notes
Typewriter, two variants — terminal-typewriter: the terminal command finishes typing and detonates a scene switch; error-retype: a "rephrase" three-act play of mistyping, deleting, and retyping
When to use it
Developer-product openers (A), slogan/value-prop cards (B); text entrances that inherently carry temporality
Intent
Typing is the only text entrance that inherently carries temporality — characters arriving one by one IS the rhythm, no extra motion needed. A uses typing as a **fuse**: a dark terminal window types out a command character by character, a block cursor blinks in square waves, and on the return frame the camera slams in on the command line, hard-cutting to the product UI — the command line is the scene's detonator, a developer-product staple; B uses typing as **monologue**: typing out a mediocre word ("just a dashboard") → pause, hesitation → backspace-delete → typing the selling point faster ("your command center") — a three-act play of hesitation-denial-declaration, the drama living entirely in the three speed tiers. Difference from scramble-decode: scramble decoding is the machine guessing; typing is a person speaking.
