Super cool!
I created a single video from text using python (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CIakJ8PMZs // https://github.com/sidpalas/devops-directive-hello-world), but this is next level!
I'm excited to try it out.

#42I haven't gotten the chance to try it out yet, but an alternative in this space is Komposition, which bills itself as "a video editor built for screencasters". I gather that mostly means that if you take certain liberties when recording your screen and voice (putting pauses in the right places), Komposition will take care of automatically splitting your input media based on when it determines a transition. https://ow…
I tried to use composition but couldn't get it to compile :(

#43I'm trying to imagine all the useful things you could do with code generated videos. I'm imagining a daily routine of airplaying the video to your TV with an annotated dashboard of quantified self metrics, weather forecast, plotted local Covid-19 cases, health advisories, etc.
For all those stuff, video is useless and prevents having benefits regular dashboard would.
Only naration is useful form of presentation but you don't need this tech to do so.

I don't know about that. If I'm making breakfast and can see a screen, both narration and visuals are useful. I think that's why Google and Amazon came out with device assistants that have screens

#45Related: A very basic prototype I’ve been working on, but for video zines https://kickscondor.com/slaptrash Seems you could do something along these lines to avoid the video generation part.
This is amazing! I'm going to have a lot of fun with this. I would love to be able to save these as videos but I guess I could just use my mac's screen record functionality edit: I'm going down a rabbit hole looking through your site. Digging the twisted early internet aesthetic.
Hey thankyou flanbiscuit! Got a web link for yourself so we can be friends?
Re: Show HN: From Markdown to Video
#46From a technology point of view, this is really cool. From the view of someone that occasionally watches videos on YouTube, I am trying to figure out a nice way to say... I hate it. Or more specifically, I hate that it generates the voice, and basically enables video content spam. What we don't need more of is cheap, easy to automatically generate videos that are basically spam and/or clickbait, trying to get views.…
Aren't these kind of videos (auto-generated) prohibited by YouTube?

#47Great
Re: Show HN: From Markdown to Video
#48Nice and simple but there are videos that are easily made with hand-writing effect using https://www.videoscribe.co/.
For example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiybniIIvx0 is entirely made in software. These are conceptually similar, but obviously yours is more text-oriented and minimalistic.

#49Some feedback on landing page:
- Make the sample script response header "Content-Type: text/plain" so that it renders in the browser instead of downloading a file.
- Make the sample video demonstrate the three features it says it has, like image captions.
Re: Show HN: From Markdown to Video
#50please delete all those videos on the internet and just post the markdown. the only use case is spam.
