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!

He featured multiple times before with Matt Parker and Brady Haran (NF), strange that you missed it. Although I guess even in this niche channel preferences vary wildly.

Especially because when narrating the audio is better than someone being filmed casually, that small difference can get really weird
