Showcase: Building an in-browser 3Blue1Brown Manim, TikZ & Stick Figure animation studio

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share a project I've been building: XtraPath.

Why I built it

Creating educational STEM animations and mathematical proofs usually requires a tedious local setup: installing Python, Manim, ffmpeg, TeX Live, or heavy desktop software. That friction stops many teachers, students, and indie creators from making visual educational content.

I wanted a cloud-native platform where you can open a browser and immediately start creating.

What XtraPath includes:

• Math Animator: Browser IDE for coding visual physics and 3Blue1Brown-style mathematical animations.
• Stick Figures Studio: Alan Becker-style physics stickman animator with bullet-time camera orbits.
• Book Studio: In-browser LaTeX textbook and dynamic worksheet authoring with 1-click Amazon KDP export.
• Plot Curves: Interactive Desmos calculus function plotter.
• Physics Lab: In-browser numerical kinematics and chaos physics sandbox.
• Explore Community: 100% source-coded creations with 1-click forking and visual derivation trees.

Everything runs client-side with zero local dependencies required.
