| You are making this too hard; don't overthink it. Video editing: OBS and DaVinci Resolve. OBS to record and Resolve if you really need to edit. I posit that for technical content like this, most of the time you do not need to edit heavily. Second is that your mindset on this for someone starting out is all wrong. You're already overthinking it and therefore increasing the impedance for yourself. Look at the first few dozens of videos for any long running channel and they are almost always just someone sharing and doing so consistently even with miniscule viewer counts. I follow a carpenter on YT (Scott Brown) and he had a great clip from his 100th episode where he talks about how you get better at things: you just do it, reflect, and repeat. Do this enough times and your 10th cycle looks nothing like your first. Your 20th looks nothing like your 10th because you learn with every attempt. So with that said, I encourage you to not overthink it and just start making content. Every day, there is someone trying to learn React and JS and that person is trying to find the right voice to learn from. That's why there can be hundreds of thousands of videos and recipe posts on how to make fried chicken; everyone has an affinity for a different voice. So with that said, challenge yourself to creating quality content once a day, even if it's short. Your first week, you'll struggle just to learn the tooling and workflow. Your second week you'll have nailed a pretty good process and focus on improving your content and defining your voice. The audience will come as long as you are consistent. For professional reasons, I think written form is better (so GitHub project plus blog writeup). I think rather than your proposed approach, just build and explore something fun and topical. How about building an app using AI tools and you review the tools and their output? Compare it to a human and give your commentary. |
I agree that written form is better, but it doesn't have any time constraints, this is why I was thinking more of live coding, or why not both? In the end, I will need to do the coding part in both cases, so why not stream it?
My problem with building an app is that I honestly don't know what app to build, and recreating React sounds fun to me
