Welcome to Glyph — v0.2.0 is live (Joy of Math + 5 moats + Tactical Math)

[seanhanca]

Welcome to the Glyph Discussions! 👋

If you're landing here for the first time, Glyph is a deterministic chart-and-compute library where every chart is a JSON spec an LLM agent can author, diff, and patch. Same spec → same SVG bytes, every platform, every run.

What just shipped — v0.2.0

The "agent-driven game changer" release ships:

• Joy of Math — a kid-persona track where one MCP call ("show me a sine wave for an 8-year-old") returns a self-contained animated SVG. Five recipes today: sine, cosine, circle, parabola, vector field.
• Tactical Math — RK4 trajectories, draw-in animation, vector-field streamlines, interactive sliders, Bezier construction.
• Five competitive moats — cryptographic provenance seal, structured Explanation envelope, failure-aware rendering, BrandKit theming, declarative crossfilter.
• 52 MCP verbs total — Claude / ChatGPT / Gemini can call any of them directly.
• GitHub-native demo surface — animated SVGs render inline in the README, a kid-facing landing page lives at https://seanhanca.github.io/glyph/forkids.html, and the playground at https://seanhanca.github.io/glyph/play/ is live.
