      <description>&lt;p&gt;Recently I had gotten tired with the way I would show code line by line online or in person, just typing it out or just having a static image of it felt, well static, and editing or animating it myself took up too much time. So I decided to try and animate them through code.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://github.com/HeyItsJhello/CodeAnimator" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;GITHUB HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
More info is in the Read Me on Github&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tech Stack:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Manim for Video Rendering&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;React + Vite frontend&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;FastAPI backend&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Features:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;2 ways to use it, Web Interface or CLI tool&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Multi-language support (Python, JS, Java, C++, etc)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;even GDscript for Game Developers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Group lines to pop up in the order you want&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Free and Open Source&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This was meant to be a simple tool for my job to automate my workflow, but I thought about the use of it for educators&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Would love feedback or any advice! Thank you!&lt;/p&gt;
