The entire Manim CE Logo example, the `x - x_1` text from the Brace Annotation example, all text from the Sin Cos Plot example, and the entire Heat Diagram example all flicker roughly once per second.
The text looks rather fuzzy, especially the large M from the Manim CE Logo example.
The Three D Light Source example also doesn't appear to have any functioning directional lighting.
Update: sounds like the author had some life changes and had to stop his YouTube channel which was the primary motivator for the library- but there are forks popping up (https://github.com/canvas-commons/canvas-commons).

This notion that an open source library is "dead" and shouldn't be used because it's not being actively updated is a bit odd. You can fork and fix issues you have. It's got years of many people's work put into it. It's a great library and widely used on YouTube and elsewhere.

Motion Canvas is a mature / popular solution in the "manim but typescript" space for those unfamiliar.
It can be used for interactive blog posts and embedded animations etc as well.
It also has a built in animation editor / timeline.

Please note that Motion Canvas is also abandoned, the main site is down, and the last commit was Dec 2024.
Afaik it's considered "stable".
There's 2800+ people in the discord.
And the community made a backup of the site https://archive.canvascommons.io/

How easy is it to replicate manim's style using motion canvas?
Someone wrote a blog about their journey https://slama.dev/motion-canvas/introduction/
But- probably reasonably simple, if you mean the "writing" style of manim. That's just animating an SVG stroke.
And then colors and typography
Thank you! I regularly use Reveal.js to create interactive slide decks for my classes, and your project will be a great tool to have!
Amazing!! This is a project I've wanted to tackle for years but never got the chance to properly do.
This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing.
thank you! this is awesome!!!
I'm far more into the web than python and have wanted something I could drop into a web page.
Now someone’s going to write a react-manim renderer I’m sure.
Congrats! This looks awesome!
