    This is great! It would be really helpful if it had some measure of the number of users (stars?) and a contributor count. It's pretty hard to determine which of these projects are …

    In that case you shouldn't call it Manim or "3Blue1Brown's animation engine". At best this has a partly Manim-compatible API, similar to how XY [1] has a partly Matplotlib-compatib…

    We have many homes for fiction already. Mine is my ebook reader. For many it's their bookshelf or local library. First impression: autoplay of noisy audio when you go to a book is …

    Oh good, thanks. [1] is a totally different kind of tool that generates unmaintainable code full of absolute positions.

    No mention of TikZ. Realtime TikZ would be really useful to me. I will wait and see what their https://texlode.com service is like for that.

    The order is the main thing, but it's not just that. It's common to swap cat with something else like head, tail, grep etc., and that's easy. If you have "< file command" instead o…

    The lines of dots move, but they stay sparse and dim. Something's definitely wrong. I tried it in Firefox and Chrome on Android. There are some screenshots of what it's supposed to…
