just updated the readme with the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-9He-tG3aM

I considered that but if I were the user I'd be wary of adding my own keys to a random person's website haha, but now that you mentioned that, since the code it's open-source I guess it's fine, thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for that! You can use something like gifski to turn that video into a gif so that you can embed it into the README. Here's an example from the gifski repo: https://github.com/ImageOptim/gifski

You can use the CLI version but they also have executables with a dead simple GUI if you're so inclined. I have only ever used the GUI and it's perfect on a Mac (just drag and drop your video into it). Not sure if it's the exact same on Windows but I imagine it's amazing there too

Nice! Will replace the screenshot with a gif, if that doesn’t work for me I guess ffmpeg may be able do that too, thanks!

FYI your current demo is 25MB. Not sure if you used gifski but usually it's super helpful for making gifs smaller

Ffmpeg can output a gif. The only difficult part might be figuring out which options you need to get the quality you want.

That’s cool! It would be great if you could easily expand each subtopic into further sub-subtopics.

Was there anything particularly interesting about how you built it or the prompts needed to get decent results?

I noticed that, at least with the models I tested (gpt 3.5, 4o and llama 3.1 8b), to get a response with just the JSON and then have it follow the exact structure so it correctly renders the topic and subtopics was the hardest part.

Ended up having to prompt I think twice (at the beginning and the end) so it finally followed the exact JSON structure.

You can use structured outputs to tell ChatGPT-4o to create specific JSON matching a schema: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs/i...

It's a bit annoying because the schema has some limitations but it works with enough elbow grease
