> You can find the documentation for the current stable version of Video on the Racket docs website.
The link resolves to "Page not found" for me, same for the versions listed below: 0.2, 0.1. The link to 0.0 [1] works - but the page describes it as the oldest version.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I wish people would stop using common nouns for program names, not only is it hard to search for, but it's kind of ... arrogant? Like you think you're the best there is and will ever be for that particular noun? Imagine if Google Chrome renamed to 'Browser'
That's a pet peeve of mine for a long time. It pollutes the global namespace, it's hard to search for, gives no information on what the product or company does (e.g. Alphabet) and lacks originality. Edit: as someone noted in a siblings comment, it's also make harder to help people. I had a hard time making someone install "Signal" at a stressing time because that's just a normal word in French.
I think we should rely less on global namespaces. DNS was designed in a way that specifically allows for the same name to mean different things for different people. I should be able to use my first name as a domain name if I want. Other people should also be able to use their first name if they want. Other people still should be able to use whatever domain they want to disambiguate between the two. This is a feature of all high level programming languages within a rounding error.

It was the first result for me on Kagi when I searched "video lang". I also tested Google and DDG and unfortunately it didn't even make the first page. I wonder why Kagi was able to surface it, but not the other two.
Either way, I recommend using search engines for discovery rather than recall, and you've already discovered this through other means. For recall, save a link to it. I personally use Org Roam for capture and recall.

The English word comes from the French word[0], but as an English speaker at least, the name makes a lot of sense to me. Particularly, it is a descriptive name that to me doesn't feel super generic like video lang.
There's no explanation of how to use it, or even a code snippet. And the documentation is down. So not very useful I'm afraid :(
I'll be that guy: curious name :/
This might be really neat, but apparently it's for people who already know what it is. The website does so little to explain it that it feels unwelcoming.

It's based on the browser canvas and allows for instant preview of compositions. We recently rebuilt our renderer on top of the web-codecs API which makes it super fast. Would love some feedback!

I clicked off for this reason. Sounds really interesting but nowhere does it even show a screenshot or capabilities.
