I have no idea why this was downvoted. This is absolutely correct.
Edit: Can someone explain to me why both the answer above this and mine were downvoted? The linked library has zero context on what 3Blue1Brown is, or even that it's a YouTube channel.
Changing the explanation on the library from
"Manim is an animation engine for explanatory math videos. It's used to create precise animations programmatically."
to
"Manim is an animation engine for explanatory math videos. It's used to create precise animations programmatically, as seen on <the 3Blue1Brown YouTube channel>."
would — in seven words — instantly improve this README. It would give visitors context, concrete examples, and a resource to dig in more.
If you've downvoted, please explain what drawbacks there are to that.
Talking about downvoting on HN almost always results in your comment being downvoted. I see your account is from 2009, so this HN guideline shouldn't come as a surprise...
> Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.
Downvoting exists to enhance the signal to noise ratio by discouraging response chains to comments which are not valuable to the discussion. Explaining downvotes is contrary to the purpose of downvotes.
I have not downvoted you, but frankly comments like these. seem superficial given the fact that the project is hosted on github and you could literally spend a similar amount of effort and get a pull request yourself.
