A comment on Manim – Python library for creating mathematical animations.

I wonder what 3 Blue 1 Brown uses. I heard he uses "a library he built himself, which now has a small community".

Edit: sorry for being a joke but I saw "Python library math animation" and I immediately thought of 3B1B but I really had no idea this was it!

He is literally the creator of Manim and used it for all his videos. He also publishes the source code of each video on his GitHub account.

Assuming you're not joking, this is the library Grant built (and released open source).

To nitpick a bit, manim.community is a fork of the library he built. This is the original:

https://github.com/3b1b/manim

From the the READE:

"Note, there are two versions of manim. This repository began as a personal project by the author of 3Blue1Brown for the purpose of animating those videos, with video-specific code available here. In 2020 a group of developers forked it into what is now the community edition, with a goal of being more stable, better tested, quicker to respond to community contributions, and all around friendlier to get started with. See this page for more details."

specifically it's a community variant of it. Grant still has his own version (https://github.com/3b1b/manim) where he works independently, and the community fork builds off that and e.g. adds and maintains things Grant might not care about.
