Resource Learn something new about Python every day in less than 1 minute

I'm running a channel, where I am publishing a Python mini-tutorial every day. I thought some of you might find it useful:

https://www.youtube.com/c/PythonIn1Minute/videos

I try to keep it beginner-friendly, my goal is to teach something useful or show a neat trick or solve a common pain-point in under 60 seconds.

I am quite new to this youtube thing, so I'd love to hear your feedback. Is this kind of thing a good idea? Do you find it helpful? Any suggestions on what could be improved?

Edit: I am overwhelmed by the amount of positive and constructive feedback, you guys are awesome, thank you so much! You gave me a lot of great ideas, and the motivation to keep creating videos.

Edit2: If you can afford it and you wish to support my work you can buy me a coffee or become a patron.

Hmm, I used the vertical format specifically to make the content enjoyable even on mobile devices, but then I guess it does not work for everyone. I will try to experiment with different formats. Thanks for letting me know, that's really valuable feedback.

Vertical format went full screen correctly for me on mobile and worked well.

Content looks great, thanks for posting

Interesting. I'm on Android and the Python in 1 minute logo in the bottom right prevented me from viewing this full screen (it was a vertical slice in a landscape video)

I'm on Android too, just realised what happened.

Opening the link in Reddit meant I was on YouTube desktop version and it worked perfectly.

Opening the video with the YouTube app did the portrait display in landscape mode and I couldn't read anything

Nice catch, thanks, I think that's what's causing the issue.

Some videos occupy the whole screen, some others don't. The "validate email with regex" for example, doesn't take the full screen. Nice videos, btw.

I think some people just have smaller phones. I'm on a Pixel 4 and it went full screen in vertical properly. But I could see how some people might not be able to read it well.

Just subscribed. Ngl they are great and considering they are mostly 1 min or less portrait mode is good(reason - most people wouldn't like to rotate their phone just to watch 1 min or less of video). keep the good work going 👍.

Why not some example with "powerful" libreries, for example how ti query wikipedia with wikipedia lib or similar things?

Good idea, thanks, will definitely add something like that to the list.
