Looks interesting, but to be honest I'm put off by the idea that you had AI rewrite someone's library and now you're using their name and brand to promote your $20-$100 per month tool based on their work.
Calling it Manim in the browser and using 3Blue1Brown's name is really misleading when you discover that it's none of those things and you're trying to charge for it.
This is a very bad misappropriation of someone else's work and fame for your personal gain.
I can only hope that this inspires some people to vibecode and equivalent service but make it open source and free to all.
This is very cool!! I'm also mesmerized about the opening animation that transforms the interface of the editor to a complete viewport state. For some reason is pretty laggy on Chrome (macbook air M1) but Firefox is super smooth. Besides that, awesome idea :)
Thank you! We simply mount the entire app inside the landing page, but rotate and scale it down. When the page opens, it smoothly animates into full screen using CSS transitions.

You can use the editor however you like without signing up. The examples are simply sample prompts for the AI, but you can paste in any Manim code to editor from ChatGPT or anywhere else, and the preview will render it instantly.

That was also unclear to me, so +1 for more code examples. Also, it seems like maybe this doesn't work in Safari but there's not error message or anything. I was looking for a Run or Render button or something to get things to happen, until I gave up and tried Firefox.

They're trying to ride on top of 3Blue1Brown's code and fame for personal gain.
