chat are these videos useful/worth it? I'm having fun making them but they do take a good chunk of time.

Did you know leaflet has a canvas? We recently got a bit carried a way and added a LOT to it. You can now: - DRAW! - add canvas pages to your publication - set view areas for mobile - make canvas images in posts - try it out at leaflet.pub/new-canvas check out this video for the full run down:

Their really informative. The ones with the virtually projected screens are some of my favorite video reels ever. I've told people you are doing the best videos on the planet with no compare.

Aw thank you! Tbh a big reason I was motivated to do them in the first place was because I wanted to do the virtual screen lol

100% especially if they are being syndicated to other short form video platforms. They have a legibility of what y’all are working on and intimacy with the team that I don't think announcement posts really give.

yeah the syndication piece is probably what we should figure out 😅 right now they don't feel particularly optimized for either short form or youtube, but probably worth posting regardless and seeing what happens

I suspect it’d be especially valuable if you shot it in a vertical format and crossposted elsewhere. Also the way those other sites work no one ever has context, so a good 5-6 second intro blurb for what leaflet is being included in every video would be a good idea, I think.

so worth it! it's way easier to share and point to people for them to quickly learn great features Leaflet has some people learn better with videos than text (even if the text has pictures)

Yes, the production value is excellent, but you gotta be reaching people outside the atmosphere scene bubble. I would go to YouTube, maybe and then take clips off it to go to short form platforms.

yea, they're good for sharing off-bluesky, which may not show up as any sorta measurable metrics, but really helps to show people what y'all are doing
