I assume that a considerable percentage of CS students or recent graduates (myself included, back in the day) dream about creating some sort of visualization tool, let alone an awesome one like this.

Sometimes knowing how to do something isn't nearly as important as badly wanting to do something

For some it can be far easier to find knowledge than it is to find motivation

Omg I would love to make an explainer on bridging algorithms[1] with this tool! I've been a huge fan of their use in participatory democracy processes since 2016 (using tools like Pol.is), and have wanted to make a contribution to increasing literacy around the foundational math involved Had I known about Manim back when his Summer of Math Exposition[2] was happening, I def would have dived in!

Wow. I really wish this were a JavaScript library so we could play with this in a browser and publish 3D animations to the browser.

I've done some porting between Python and JS based on Tensorflow in the past - and I suspect the poor ergonomics in JS for math/lists would probably ruin the experience a good amount.

Perhaps something like Pyodide can bridge the gap and make it easier to bring into the browser as well.

What is the actual math involved? From following the link in [1] I found almost no math content.
