Suggestion: convert existing videos to Tips Of The Day

[aaaaalbert]

There are a couple of videos out there which demonstrate cool, useful patching etc. features. They could be cut up and converted to Tips Of The Day with (relative) ease if the original authors agree for the material to be used, or otherwise re-done from scratch.

Here is one example I learnt of recently, linking to pure-data/pure-data#575 ("intelligent patching", look at that lovely tabbing feature during making connections!).

Note: I don't suggest that I have to be the person to do that, nor that you, dear reader should feel obliged to. I'm just pointing out the existence of generally suitable material :-)

while i love the example you gave (being the author), i think this is too long for a tip-of-the-day.

otoh, the various intelligent-patching videos could be easily split up into multiple short animated GIFs...

which is a pity.
i would welcome such contributions.

Yes, that's what I was thinking too. I could split e.g. the "cycle-connect" section into separate Tips showing tabbing between outlets and inlets.

Oh, wait -- did I just volunteer? 😮

In earnest, what do you think of making this issue a (task) list of videos that should be split up and recreated as Tips Of The Day? And whenever someone works on one, they create a new GitHub issue, and check it off the list here.

My problem: I know only this video, and vaguely remember one about "intelligent patching" (probably by you @umlaeute as well?). Furthermore, I'm not sure if task lists can be edited / appended to by people other than the respective author. Suggestions welcome!

sounds good.
