I like what has been done here and this is a problem I am actively thinking of as I am creating my own attempt at teaching how to code [1]. Would it be possible to use an IDE, like VS Code, to replay git and video? The author's video could be a hovering head with video controls that are tied into git (repository contents being shown by the said IDE). The comments here might seem demotivating but I too feel that video is not the best delivery mechanism for code - the IDE is. You have nicely wrapped Git with video timestamps. I feel that using video to show the code is poor UX. [1] https://github.com/brainless/solvex/tree/develop https://github.com/brainless/solvex/tree/develop Edit: sentence structure in para 2.

I think the audience here is missing that the code diffs are included in the markdown below, probably because you need to scroll to see them. See around 3:38: https://app.paircast.io/replay/fa41d539-aea0-4d62-a192-3cd77c60a3ee#209238:329184 https://app.paircast.io/replay/fa41d539-aea0-4d62-a192-3cd77... Because the Paircast git commits include a timestamped link to the video, using something like gitlens in VS Code would allow you to click from code to video. https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens#autolink-settings https://github.com/eamodio/vscode-gitlens#autolink-settings

  Yes I noticed that and the diffs are really done well. I feel your product has a great start but as a founder myself, I would suggest you to take the comments here, from everyone, in a positive spirit. I understand how negative it might feel, but if you want the best UX for teachers and students, then integrating with filesystem/git/IDE is really going to make a dent in the problem space. IMHO.

  Unfortunately I can not test the link as it needs me to download the app and I am on Linux - that is my primary/work OS.
