It's a great tool for memorizing things that need to be rote-memorized. Chinese characters often fall into that category. Arcane Chemistry vocabulary probably do as well. It's just a flash card system on steroids. If you know how

I like live coding too but I think how much of it is acceptable depends on what you're trying to demonstrate. If you're doing a programming tutorial video then yes by all means type every line so the viewer can follow along. Howev

Nice! I wonder if interactive programming might end up encouraging a trial and error approach to coding which can be a very bad habit. Just a minor tip: I feel like you spend way too much time typing in the demo. You should just copy and
