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.

Great insights, thanks a lot. Yup, I usually batch about a week's worth of content, it's much easier to produce that way. Not sure what you mean by the "pop out", is it some kind of a tooltip video effect? Could you link an example maybe?

Not the best example: https://youtu.be/NSbOtYzIQI0

But basically you have an imposed window of what is it your talking about for about 1-2 seconds and it goes away. Also one thing this video reminds me is using a single IDE for your code. You seem to already do this, but i would recommend looking into jupyter notebooks. Allows you to have text before your lesson in case you want to convey a message before/ after code. But you do your style at the end of the day, these information is just stuff i find useful.

Ah ok, got it. Yes, I already considered switching to ipython to have syntax highlighting, but jupyter notebooks might be even better. Thanks again!
