Minor but terribly important point: get a better microphone. And increase the volume. These videos are the only public interface to your project right now.

Otherwise: I've been a huge fan of your writing since I discovered your blog and I was genuinely excited to see you were starting a large-scale project (as a business or otherwise). I would invest in you in a second if there were some mechanism by which I modestly could. Good luck.

Thanks for the tips. Gonna get myself a better one.

Btw, you're only the 2nd person who tells me the videos are quiet, but as I listen to them, the sound levels are ok.

+1 quiet. You might have really good speakers. Always safer to make the videos louder, the user can always tune it down but can't tune it up beyond his/her speaker's capability.

Relative to whatever's evolved to be the youtube standard level? I generally keep my speakers tuned to that, suspect many do. If the relative volume of two videos is not consistent between viewers, maybe it's a matter of equalizer filtering?
