  body: `For 30 years, the web has treated text as a second-class citizen. While print designers flowed paragraphs around images, wrapped columns, and fit type into arbitrary shapes, browsers offered none of that without expensive DOM reflows.
 
Pretext changes everything. A 15KB TypeScript library by Midjourney engineer Cheng Lou, it measures and lays out multiline text up to 500 times faster than traditional browser methods.
 
The secret is simple: instead of inserting text into the DOM and measuring the result, Pretext uses the Canvas measureText API to build its own measurement cache. From that cache, it calculates heights, returns line objects, and flows text around obstacles.
 
Developers are already building text games, magazine layouts, and kinetic typography with it. The library handles every script including Arabic, emoji, and bidirectional text.
 
This is not an incremental improvement. This is the missing piece of web typography.`,
