export interface ITypewriterProps {
delay: number
texts: string[]

const count = useMotionValue(0)
const rounded = useTransform(count, (latest) => Math.round(latest))
const displayText = useTransform(rounded, (latest) =>
baseText.slice(0, latest)

}
}, [count, baseText.length, delay])
return (
<span>
