Prompt:

Create a functional app inside Canva called “Large-Scale Text Display” with the following features:

 

1. **Input Interface**:

   – A text field to enter a short phrase (up to 100 characters).

   – Text size selector: users can adjust the size so that each character can be up to 600 pixels tall.

   – Text color selector (white, yellow, red, green, blue, cyan).

   – **Neon effect toggle**: an ON/OFF switch that, when enabled, adds a glowing neon-style outline to the text (purely visual, no animation).

   – Animation speed selector: slow, medium, or fast (only affects horizontal scrolling speed).

   – **The only available animation effect is continuous horizontal scrolling** (no other modes like “typewriter” or “letter-by-letter”).

 

1. **Presentation Mode (full-screen 9:16)**:

   – When the user taps the **“Show”** button, the app switches to full-screen presentation mode in fixed vertical orientation (9:16 aspect ratio).

   – The text animates with **continuous horizontal scrolling**: it fully enters from the right, moves across the screen, and fully exits to the left.

   – **Immediately, with no pause or dead time**, it re-enters from the right in an infinite loop.

   – The text **must always be fully visible**: include sufficient blank space (padding) before and after the message to ensure no words or letters are ever cut off at the start or end of the loop.

   – The text must remain **vertically centered** on screen (mid-height), regardless of size.

   – If the **neon toggle is ON**, the scrolling text must display the glowing neon effect throughout the entire animation.

 

1. **Technical Behavior**:

   – The animation starts **1 second after** the “Show” button is pressed.

   – Include a floating **“Reset” button** to return to the editor at any time.

   – In the editor screen (not in presentation mode), show scroll bars if the text field doesn’t fit on small screens.

   – The entire app must work fully inside Canva, with no external code required.

 

Critical requirement: **Never cut off any part of the text** during the scrolling animation—not at the beginning, not at the end, and not during any loop cycle—even when the neon effect is enabled.
