For future reference, channel is live here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeeZEadhY0fNoVUgbYPfj3Q

thanks, added it to the channel description and probably will add it to the individual video descriptions too once I publish them

yeah, I heard this from others as well but not something I particularly aim for at the moment (I could easily release a second version of a video with the original sound though). Although sound/music is one of the bigger questions/challenges I need to 'solve': it's quite difficult to strike a balance between setting the mood for a video and too intrusive. Pure original sound is difficult for other reasons, mic quality, background noise etc.

Thanks for the kind words.
In principle I'm absolutely in favour of releasing it to the public. To be sure: do you mean the _content_ I create in the video or the _videos_ themselves (I wouldn't mind both, but just to clarify).
One of the things I want to add later are downloadable resources: PDFs with the drawings or cutting templates, so people can get a head start with e.g. colouring instead of having to do the drawing first.

Super frustrated by the state of videos for kids on youtube, especially in the arts and crafts department, i decided to launch a channel and start creating my own content. Basically, all videos start half decent but for some reason end in a big noisy mess, weird sounds, spoiling food, questionable product placements, zero creativity and always incentivize more watching and trapping viewers in the infinite ‘next video’ loop.
Instead, one of the goals for my videos will be to take a step back and inspire to create, zero commercial interest, not too much distractions and something parents can trust.
Still in the process of figuring out all the parameters, camera, editing, setup etc but its a lot of fun learning new skills. I have a million ideas for the content already so enough work to be done. If there is little to no ‘success’ in terms of viewers, i really don’t care since i enjoy all aspects of it and im building a nice catalog of creative videos to watch with my kid later. I have no public videos yet (coming very soon) but here are two samples of what to expect:

Ah thanks, that's an excellent suggestion. That way, you can request avatars and send a list of already received avatar-IDs with your request to prevent getting duplicates?

Hi,
Creator here. This small side projects was to learn more about SVG's and api design (documentation, rate limiting, etc).
Still lots to do but I wanted to show the world as soon as possible and gather some initial feedback.
Hope you like it!

the Guess Who game is just a gimmick, it is mainly about the API

I think crowd sourced recipes never work. Apart from obvious mistakes, a recipe is a very personal thing: how you describe steps, what ingredients, your cooking setup/hardware, what instruction you need, what ingredients are available etc. I recently did a Show HN[0] for a different approach: a private kitchen notebook to accommodate exactly this, your recipes.

Thanks for the feedback. You're probably right, although in this case the clickable area doesn't move. I'll look into it!

definitely, it is high on feature list but requires more work to refactor than I anticipated. Would a GitHub integration work for you or are social logins in general not your thing?

Hi HN, creator here. In a previous iteration [0], Fooder tried to do way too much. I cut down and focussed on the thing I used it the most for (recipes).
It is probably not for everyone, but what it lacks in functionality (at the moment) it makes up for ease of use and speed.
Hope you check it out

Thanks for trying and for your honest feedback! I find it quite hard to translate something I find incredibly useful to something that might be useful for others, and then make it intuitive to use. I'll have to work harder improving that.
I added a clip to the homepage to show how I designed it to work, I hope that helps a little.

I made Fooder because I needed to keep track of things I learned when cooking a recipe. Still quite early in the development, but hoping to get some feedback. Not mobile friendly yet I'm afraid.
