I jotted down some thoughts on how I think about (simple) animations and how to create them with some programming (in Python). I'd love to hear your thoughts on my write up and also what directions you suggest I take these personal explorations in.
I've used snappify to create code snippets to share on social media[1], I've used it to create YouTube video thumbnails, and I've used it to create slides for talks that I've given at big international conferences[2].
I have no affiliation with snappify whatsoever, and I'd love to see your comments on this tool.
What things look good/promising?
What's missing?
What other alternatives could I consider for similar purposes?

If you have suggestions for improvements for the article, let me know here! Thanks again.
OP here; maybe I'll add a comment to the article to make the comparison between NumPy and APL for this expression. Thanks!
I wrote a simple TODO app that runs in the terminal. The GIF demo in the repo (https://github.com/mathspp/textual-todo) uses the mouse so that people watching can see where I am clicking, but everything can be done from the comfort of your keyboard.
Basic features include data persistence (doh!), sorting items by due date, different styling for items that are late, and collapsing details for a more compact view.
Let me know if you find any bugs and/or if you have suggestions for simple features that I could add to keep this app lightweight but useful!
FYI my personal blog lives at https://mathspp.com/blog.
However, I took a look at PEP 518 and failed to understand what was wrong with Poetry's default configuration. Can you help me out?
Also, can't believe everyone let me get away with not writing about documentation! I'll see to it that it gets done and added to the article.
Everything else I have is just free, like my Pydon'ts book (https://pydonts.com).
