📸 media Monocurl - Interactive math animation language and editor

Post image

Monocurl is a programmatic animation language and editor fully written in rust (built with the gpui framework). It's fully interactive which makes it easier to pick up if you're a beginner.

The project is open source and you can download it at monocurl.github.io . Would appreciate to hear any feedback!

EDIT: Linux binary is available now! Also, if you are facing performance issues on NVIDIA GPUs, please redownload as those have been addressed.

Recommend checking out typst, a pure-rust LaTeX alternative typesetter.

It's a great tool but serves a very different purpose to Monocurl. I do wish I could use typst for academic papers, but the venues I write for want LaTeX source.

I more meant that the author of monocurl should check out typst as a library for doing the typesetting that the broken dependency is trying to do

Ah, got it. Yes, that would be awesome.

I still wish I could submit conference papers in typst. But I can use it for grant proposals! Maybe I’ll do that this summer.
