The idea is that we together record a short demo over zoom about your open-source tool. You demo the tool and then we also ask you a few questions.

Right now we only publish the recordings to our YouTube channel, but we’re working on our website’s “tools” page. When it’s ready, our interview will be published there.

Please don’t prepare slides — it’s best when we jump into a demo directly.

Plan

• Intro, some info about you and about the tool (1-2 minutes)
  • Intro
• The demo
• Questions (3-4 minutes)
  • how many people are working on it?
  • how people can contribute?
  • what are your plans?
• Advice to anyone who's watching this (1 minute)

We should aim at 15-20 minutes for the entire video. If it’s longer, then it’s more likely that people won’t watch it.

After the video, please send me:

• Link to your GitHub repo and documentation
• Everything else you'd like to add to the description

Preparation tips

Make sure the font size is large enough (the default size is always too small)

• Prepare your browser, the terminal and your IDE - and other things you want to share
• Good rule of thumb: the text should be visible on YouTube on 13” laptop screens without people having to go full-screen
