🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This class provides a widget which displays a simple animation, cycling through a fixed set of strings with a fixed interval. 🎀

that's it. that's the vibe. a fixed set of strings, a fixed interval, just rotating through them like a lil fashion show for text. iconic behavior honestly. 👑
