I guess I have two thoughts looking at that:

(1) I personally prefer reading over video. Video is really hard to find
using search, and it's slow to watch.

(2) Why don't I know how to generate a UI like that, using J?

Of course anything worth doing takes time, and I have to allow for that.
But video is particularly frustrating for me, also because I don't know how
to manipulate the raw underlying data in J.

Thanks,
