1) Speed : the site is often showing heroku errors. Seems like you are running the entire processing in the request-response cycle. If not already done, please try to use a queueing system to perform async processing - and then let the user know when their video is ready to view as steps (probably via email or browser notifications). This will stop your site from crashing frequently and you'll be able to scale to many users very quickly.
2) Please add link-backs to the specific time in the video from where the step is shown.
Cheers!
He also experimented alot with scratch.
Now he's 9 and learning intermediate Python through community classes taught by our area hi-schoolers.
He recently made a summer holiday project called "Story Machine" which takes 5 nouns, calls a generative AI API to create a story, uses Spacy to find nouns and randomly replaces those nouns with another set of random nouns - creating a funny story in the process. UI input using tkinter :-)
I helped him to learn concepts like API calls, JSON, generative AI, UI, event based coding etc - he google searched himself to figure out how to use those concepts.
Once you teach them the basics, they will fly!
Running Lean: Iterate from Plan A to a Plan That Works
But what if the ideas don't have a common audience? Like devotional apps need a different audience than funny pictures app.
When my son uses my mobile phone (which he knows how to turn on, off, unlock) - I generally turn brightness very low. This is in stark contrast to red/white :-)
