Monocurl is a programming language and app for making mathematical animations, videos, and slideshows. It's comparable to Manim, but you see your animation update live as you edit, and you can present it as an interactive slideshow. For students, educators, academics, and anyone who wants to explain an idea visually.

Could you build this?
Partial The editor, slideshow mode, and UI are vibe-codeable. However, a real version requires designing and implementing a custom programming language, a compiler or interpreter, and a live-updating renderer for math animation, which goes well beyond what vibe coding produces reliably.
What it would actually take: The stack would likely be a custom language front end (parser, type checker, incremental evaluator) plus a GPU or canvas rendering engine with math typesetting, possibly in Rust or C++ compiled to WebAssembly. The hard parts are incremental recompilation for live editing and smooth animation semantics. This needs compiler and graphics engineering experience, similar to what Manim or Desmos-style tools required.
