Anybody know of a free alternative to the gsap.splitText feature?

Great question! If you're looking for a free alternative to GSAP's SplitText feature, you can try using JavaScript’s built-in split() method along with CSS and span elements to manually break up text. Another option is the lettering.js library, which helps with text splitting for animations. If you're working with React, react-split-text could also be useful.
Let me know what you're trying to achieve, and I’d be happy to suggest a more tailored solution! 😊
