I have been making YT tutorials/live coding videos as a hobby and right now my channel has reached 158 subscribers. I am very happy about that!

That's a really awesome accomplishment, Piko!

In case you didn't already know, DEV actually allows folks to embed YouTube videos using the following syntax:

{% embed https://... %}

For instance, this:

{% embed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ %}

Creates:

Sorry, couldn't help it! 😈

Anywho, if you'd like to share one of your videos in thread here or a link to your channel, please feel free to do so!

Hahahaha! Thanks for the RickRoll and the tip, I did not know you could embed YT vids in the comments that pretty neat!

Hmmm πŸ€” If I had to choose a video to link it would be:
It was actually my first ever YT video, but it has helped so many people make their own always on top browsers and that makes me very very happy! 😊

Haha!! Glad you appreciated that. πŸ˜†

This is a dope video and so well-made! It's amazing that this was your first one! You've edited it all so nicely with helpful & funny visuals, time stamps, clear explanations, and code-sharing. You even got a cool little logo and tune to play at the beginning! πŸ™Œ

I'm glad to hear that this one has been seen by and helped out lotsa folks! Well-deserved, Piko. πŸ˜€

I can't believe you actually took the time to give it a watch! That's so nice of you! I am so glad you like it! πŸ˜€

When I first posted it, it hardly got any views, but with time it gained momentum. I guess because the project is interesting and original, and I did my best to make every second count. Ironically my newer videos could benefit from the same approach.

Have a lovely day!
