Manim Notebook — A new interactive experience for Manim

During the last few months, we have been working hard for you to ship this new tool: Manim-Notebook — a VSCode extension that brings 3Blue1Brown's @3b1b Manim Python library to VSCode. In case you haven't heard about it yet: Manim stands for Mathematical Animation Engine, which Grant Sanderson has built to animate mathematical content on his YouTube channel. With the Manim Notebook extension, we want to make the dev experience as smooth as possible. Live previewing your animations is a first-class citizen in our extension.

You can read more about what Manim Notebook is doing and the motivation behind it in our Readme. For now, here is a quick preview video:

While we extensively tested the extension, there might be things that are not working for you. Especially in the light of this being the first release. Please let us know if you experience any problems by creating a new issue.
