Description

Enhancement proposal

I suggested adding a channel in the discord server called #beginner-resources that would help beginners get started with Manim.

@behackl also suggested adding this type of information in the docs/ landing page.

I think this would be a good idea! We could probably add some of the resources we compiled from the ?sp tutorials snippet:

Most tutorials online are outdated, but here are some that aren't:
Try manim:
https://try.manim.community/
kolibril13's flying frames:
https://flyingframes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Brian Amadee's YouTube tutorials:

Theorem of Beethoven's YouTube tutorials:

Research direction
To implement this, locate the landing page file in the documentation (likely docs/source/index.rst or similar). Add a new section titled 'Beginner Resources' and include the links from the issue body. Also review the issue comments for any additional suggestions. Ensure the formatting is consistent with the existing documentation style.
