I’m experimenting with a new setup to rebuild the @silex docs

I like how Webflow (eg https://university.webflow.com/course-lesson/build-structure-intro-HTML-CSS ) does video docs

but I'm a text first kind of guy

so I’m thinking:

- rewrite the docs as exhausive structured text docs first
- turn them into audio with TTS (probably Voxtral TTS - open-weight - thx @BeginnersInAi )
- then record the videos on top

basically text → audio → video

not sure if this the way to go?

@lexoyo I am not sure the tone and style is the same for a written doc and a video. I gladly watch a video tutorial but I am quite sure a video that reads me out a documentation will make me sleep.

@aloxe right 😅

yeah makes complete sense

I'll experiment, write one page - a typical one
Then see if it works to use an llm to turn it into a proper video script, what do you think?

@lexoyo I'd think of a simple use case, then maybe the lmm can write a script from the doc.

@aloxe oh good idea! 👍🙌

@aloxe or maybe use the text as base and improvise a videi+audio recording... Simpler and makes more sense 😋
