Customizable typewriter animation with CSS

After seeing a tweet from Prantham on Twitter (make sure to give him a follow: https://twitter.com/Prathkum) I wanted to make my own typewriter effect using only CSS!

My goal with this was to make it as customizable as possible, so if you changed the text you could update it as quickly as possible using custom properties.
