Documentation

ytesrev

This is a presentation tool inspired by 3blue1brown's tool manim. Currently it supports rendering LaTeX files, relatively simple layout, reading PNGs among other things.

Differences to manim

The biggest difference is the goal of the two programs. Manim is made to render a video, while ytesrev is made to work in live situations where reactivity and dynamicity are valuable. For example, in manim, screen size and timing are pretty much constant, where ytesrev has to have a dynamic layout engine and an event system.
