tl;dr lets make generating videos like this easier: https://youtu.be/HxFSmDNvDUI

Children's entertainment is awful post-internet; whether that be "elsagate", "poopys playtime", self-harm advocacy aimed at teenagers, etc. etc. etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8sh6TFWrQI

While I think everyone is on board with reading at children pointing at the word you're on, is a part of how they learn to read. Soooo where are the videos of childrens books where they highlight the words?

It should just be a two-headed slideshow. My code for making that video was awful but 150 lines ish

Would anyone be interested in a) defining a data format b) making some reference programs c) throwing together a few dozen example videos of public domain books d) begging for money from anyone who complains about children not reading enough or that the internet is destroying culture.

https://youtu.be/HxFSmDNvDUI This was made with public domain readings(which there are 1000s from that site), public domain art, and stable defusion.

things I could use help with rn

• porting my build scripts for raylib projects to windows

• finding a (short) public domain audio book, and several wallpaper sized images you think match it (https://librivox.org/)

• making an editing pass on my spec

• demo generating a whole clothe video file with text rendering over images in d thats approachable( my current method is slow and terrible)

• making a (github hosted?) website with fancy mission statement and other tropes of charity projects
