Description
Google Slides, Inkscape and lots of popular graphics programs have an overview of all their shapes:

I think we should have something similar.
A place where you can go and quickly get your Mobject, without the necessity to write the code yourself and know it by heart.
Therefore the idea:
A gallery of all existing Mobjects, as small thumbnails on a website.
That could look like this:

When you click on that image, automatically the code can be copied to your clipboard, e.g. for the last one you have then in the clipboard: `m= ManimBanner()`.
A place where this could be is at
https://www.manim.community/
in the documentation, or even at a completely other site.
The thumbnails+ clipboard templates could get generated when building the docs.

I just started with the implementation here:

Research direction
Review the proposed implementation at https://kolibril13.github.io/mobject-gallery/ and the suggested placement in the documentation at https://www.manim.community/. Define the repository files, generation process, and documentation entry point before starting; done means an agreed gallery of Mobjects with usable thumbnail code-copy behavior.
