Everything is Code

Intro

BC we have to use those OpenAI Prompt packs: https://academy.openai.com/public/tags/prompt-packs-6849a0f98c613939acef841c

Motion Canvas is great for interactive, visually rich web animations.

Remotion is best for React developers needing video automation and scaling.

Manim is the tool for deep mathematical visualization with powerful programmatic control.

Presentations: Reveal.js vs Slidev

• Reveal.js is a popular HTML presentation framework that supports Markdown and is flexible but often requires writing HTML for layout and animations. It is widely used but less concise for slide content.[1]
• Slidev is built on Vue.js and Vite, providing an extended Markdown format for creating slides. It is more concise than Reveal.js, supports Vue components for interactive slides, has instant hot-reloading, built-in theming, and recording features. Slidev is very developer-friendly and web-based, allowing extensive customization.[2][1]
• In summary, Slidev is often preferred for modern developer presentations due to ease of use, interactivity, and faster iteration, while Reveal.js remains a flexible, established choice.

Reports: Pandoc vs Typst vs LaTex

• Pandoc is a versatile converter tool supporting Markdown, LaTeX, HTML, DOCX, and many other formats. It is great for converting documents and combining Markdown with raw LaTeX for complex formatting. It requires some setup but is widely used and flexible.[3][4]
• Typst is a relatively new open-source typesetting system designed as a LaTeX alternative, known for a clean syntax inspired by Rust and Python, faster compilation, and easier document styling. It offers good readability of error messages and web collaboration features. It is intuitive for simple to moderately complex documents but less mature than LaTeX.[5][6][3]
• LaTeX is the traditional, powerful typesetting system with extensive features for academic and complex document layouts. It has a steeper learning curve and verbose syntax but the richest ecosystem and long-term support.[3][5]
• Overall, Pandoc is excellent for format conversion and combining Markdown with LaTeX, Typst offers a modern alternative with easier syntax, and LaTeX is ideal for advanced, professionally typeset documents.

This selection depends on priorities: Slidev for modern web presentations, Reveal.js for flexible HTML slides; Pandoc for format conversions, Typst for newer simpler typesetting, and LaTeX for complex document mastery.

eBooks as a Code

You know, just in case you want to create your pdf libre or your epub libre org.

Or to write a ebook for your friend (Anna’s archive).

Others, like WhyCryptoCurrencies, use Pollen instead

Or…because you can now have deep research agents everywhere:

Animations as a Code

Last night the yt algorithm hit me with this:

MultiChat UI

How the final multichat UI looks like

So…wait, didnt we already…?

Matplotlib can be used for creating basic 2D animations and exporting them as videos or GIFs, mainly for data visualizations and scientific plots. It supports animation classes that update frames over time, but it is limited in terms of creative, sophisticated motion graphics or professional video production and interactivity.[1][2][3]

In contrast, tools like Motion Canvas, Remotion, or Manim provide much richer features for video animations with more control, flexibility, and higher production value.

They are specialized for creating engaging presentations, explainer videos, or educational animations beyond simple graph animations.

Blender is a professional 3D modeling and animation software, and yes, it supports scripting—usually with Python—to automate scene creation, object manipulation, lighting, and camera control. This scripting allows creating complex 3D scenes and animations programmatically.

Blender scripting is powerful for 3D animations, simulations, and rendering, which is quite different and much more advanced compared to 2D animation libraries like Matplotlib.

• Matplotlib: Best for simple 2D scientific animations, basic video export.
• Motion Canvas/Remotion/Manim: Better suited for rich 2D animated videos and educational content.
• Blender: Professional 3D animation software with Python scripting for complex 3D scenes and animations.

So, for video animations where creative flexibility and professional output matter, tools like Motion Canvas or Remotion are superior to Matplotlib.

For 3D scenes and animations via coding, Blender scripting is the go-to solution.

Motion Canvas, Remotion, and Manim are all tools for creating programmatic animations and videos, but they cater to different use cases and technologies.

Motion Canvas is a modern TypeScript-based tool focused on vector animations with real-time preview and strong web integration. It is praised for allowing CSS features and live timing control in animations but is still relatively new with fewer complex examples and features compared to others. It targets users who prefer coding animations with web tech and want interactive previews while creating.[1][2][3]

Remotion stands out as a React-based tool for creating programmatic videos. It enables creating MP4 videos using React components, making it excellent for developers familiar with React who want to automate and scale video production. Remotion is well-regarded for strong documentation, ease of use, and a focus on collaborative and dynamic video creation, including applications like product videos and in-browser editing.[4][5][6]

Manim, on the other hand, is a Python library specialized in math and educational animations. It offers fine-grained control for precise formula animation and algorithm visualization. It requires more programming expertise and manual effort but is powerful for STEM use cases. Recent research advances also use AI to automate some Manim coding, improving accessibility. Manim excels in complex mathematical and algorithmic animations rather than general vector or video creation.[7][8][9]
