I have not seen anyone doing this, but as I work with news daily, I think scrolling text is one that would benefit my app a lot.

I figured out I could do this through a HTML code, using an element called “marquee”.

[Here](https://www.html.am/html-generators/marquee-generator.cfm)’s a link to a sample marquee generator.

After generating the HTML code, you can put it in a Rich Text element for your app. In my case, as I want to display the latest headline from the news, I use it in a dynamic cell in my sheets.

And here’s a video of how it looks like on my app screen.

Hope it helps for your apps, like an announcement or something. Also the speed of scrolling should be a bit faster for my liking.
