"use client";
import { TextFlippingBoard } from "@/components/ui/text-flipping-board";
import React, { useCallback, useEffect, useState } from "react";

export default function TextFlippingBoardDemo() {
  const [msgIdx, setMsgIdx] = useState(0);

  const next = useCallback(
    () => setMsgIdx((i) => (i + 1) % MESSAGES.length),
    [],
  );

  useEffect(() => {
    const id = setInterval(next, 6000);
    return () => clearInterval(id);
