CodeVideo – Two years in the making to build an event-sourced IDE
Hi everyone! I originally created CodeVideo as a little side project using FFMPEG WASM in the browser as an experiment, but it's since grown into my vision for a completely automated software educational course production system. The idea is that you create the educational content once, then can export the course to multiple formats - as a video (of course!), but also as an interactive webpage, a blog post, or even a book, PDF, or PowerPoint! Basically a "create once, ship everywhere" concept. Things will get more interesting as I incorporate stuff like spell check (for speech) and abstract…

In plain words
CodeVideo is an automated system for creating software educational content that can be exported to multiple formats including video, interactive webpages, blog posts, books, PDFs, and PowerPoint presentations. Built with FFMPEG WASM in the browser, it lets creators produce educational material once and distribute it across different platforms. The tool includes features like speech spell-checking and code syntax validation to verify course content accuracy in real time as creators build.

X-PilotApr 2026 · x-pilot.ai · ▲328Hi HN, I'm Heshan, founder of X-Pilot. We're building an AI Video Generator for online courses and educational content. Unlike most text-to-video generator that render videos directly from models (which often produce random stock footage unrelated to the actual content), we take a code-first approach: generate editable code layers, let users verify/refine them, then render to video. The Problem We're Solving Most AI video generators treat "education" and "marketing" the same—they optimize for "looks good" rather than "logically accurate." When you feed a technical tutorial or course…

Video CommanderApr 2026 · video-commander.com · ▲87I've been building open-source tools in the video/multimedia space for 10+ years. Finally shipped the commercial product I always wanted to exist — Video Commander, a desktop app that consolidates FFmpeg, ffprobe, MediaInfo, VMAF and more into a single workspace where you can inspect, encode and analyze video. Built with Tauri + Rust backend, React frontend. FFmpeg and VMAF. Not a cool AI/LLM project, just a tool I've been heads-down building over the last six months. Happy to answer any questions!
