Manim: Animation engine for explanatory math videos

It seems like the community fork would be the better link for most people.

The sort of project Grant made is exquisite. It's not built by OSS library maintainers: It's built by someone who is interested in the application, and is an expert in the domain. Suitable tools didn't exist, so he built and maintains a tool that works well for his real-world applications.

My pattern-matching brain thinks the fork is by people who want to build infrastructure that will suit its own end, at the cost of the original purpose of supporting the applications that call it. It is and will continue to decouple from the intended application. Design-by-committee, expanded to too many use cases, and just a general loss of UX. I think this is a clear case of comparing

"Expert who wants to get-shit-done" / "Library maintainers who want to maintain and promote a library"

Grant himself advocated for the use of the fork and discourages the use of his own version. I’ve heard that directly from him in person.
