I'm personally not a fan of being talked at -- I don't listen to podcasts, and I reluctantly watch talks on YouTube at 2X speed -- but I would love to see a textual version of this. Basically a pane in VS Code where you could read a nicely-formatted version of Crafting Interpreters and click to make the code changes happen. Like Lion's Commentary on Unix but "live" in the editor.
- seansh 2y agoEven with audio/video, it's still useful to have a side pane to show some text, slides, and visual aids all synced to the timeline. I was thinking something like the markdown preview in a split screen. Also, I'm sure some prefer to write than talk so once that feature is in place, we can have any mix of audio, video, or markdown guides.
- soco 2y agoOh dear and I thought I was the only one. Falling asleep at the lame attempts of jokes and meaningless banter watering down the interesting points, the struggle to pay attention and keep the hopes high is real. And those YouTube videos, where every presenter seems to be at least halfway dyslexic, punching a line of code in 0.005 seconds then backbackbackspace-correcting every second word in 10 seconds, I'm just dying inside... Yes I'm being nasty but those bits are completely killing the experience. I think I'll have to resort to AI to watch, cleanse and transcribe or summarize those pieces of media for me.
