How easy is it to replicate manim's style using motion canvas?
- jasonjmcghee 8mo ago
  Someone wrote a blog about their journey https://slama.dev/motion-canvas/introduction/ 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

  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/ https://archive.canvascommons.io/ 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 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.
