In that case you shouldn't call it Manim or "3Blue1Brown's animation engine". At best this has a partly Manim-compatible API, similar to how XY [1] has a partly Matplotlib-compatible API.

We are fully compatible with Manim CE. Our goal is 1:1 API compatibility, so people can continue using the API they already know.

We never intended to use 3Blue1Brown's name in a negative or misleading way. We simply wanted to communicate that we have made the Manim API created by 3Blue1Brown accessible in the browser with WebGPU, without requiring any installation.

You submitted this with the title “Manim (3Blue1Brown's animation engine) in the browser via WebGPU”

Being misleading is exactly what you intended to do.

Such bad faith here.. Rip off and then caught (inevitable, because most on HN likely love the original), then backpedal like crazy when called out
