I personally know a few people who could very likely be your customer,so I second other commenter: do release it as a product.

Thanks for the kind words. Script is open for anyone to use or adapt. Credit and link back would be nice :-) https://gist.github.com/vivekhaldar/92368f35da2d8bb8f12734d840d11cfa https://gist.github.com/vivekhaldar/92368f35da2d8bb8f12734d8...

  I think they mean that you should make it into a standalone product that can be used by someone who doesn't know what Python or GitHub is. So if you are ever looking for a side hustle, you have a good candidate already.

      I have not watched the video but think I may be able to help with the comprehension aspect from reading, making videos of all sorts of stuff has been normalized To be less wasteful of your audiences time one edits the video to remove the lowest information content segments. When you are generating the video you may have some notion the last segment was subpar so you flash a red flag in front of the camera lens and start over, when you think it was good enough you flash a green flag. For post processing the software scans the video and edits out everything that is not the last interval before a green flag. I would not be surprised if it could not also recognize quiet periods with low visual activity and optionally edit those out as well. But as I have not watched the video... I dunno This is the sort of software that could help drag me and kicking & screaming into the current reality of sharing projects ... but really I would still rather someone else did it all.

While I completely relate to the sentiment and, I'd say, similar to the usual HN crowd find products to be a goal, I've personally lost complete interest and even develop resentment/hate toward personal projects the moment I tried to make them into a product. I think the huge shift that happens from "this project is fun/useful for myself" to "I need to integrate payment/multi-user/backups/uptime/user requested features/random uses of the product that I never thought of" is wildly underestimated! But, that's just me, after killing more than a few projects that I enjoyed by trying to make them products...
