Post Description

Hi,

Created a tool that lets you type your idea and it can generate a 3blue1brown style video on this.

The demo is free to use - https://crafty-resilient-grebe.instavm.site/

Github open sourced as well - https://github.com/instavm/manim-studio

If you feel its cumbersome to set up manim locally, you can now just prompt this tool and it will create the video you need, be as descriptive as you like.

Shoutout to the original Manim - https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim

Happy manim-ing!
