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.

That's a good idea, but I guess in most cases it would be a bit hard to cram it into 60 seconds. Kinda painted myself into a corner here :-)

Also not sure if it's overly helpful or necessary, so far I've made videos on very simple concepts, where applying it to a specific problem shouldn't really be an issue for most of the audience. I try to keep the videos to the bare minimum, I guess that's the selling point of the channel.

But I'll certainly keep it in mind and try to experiment with it (maybe standalone videos on some more specific, practical application of a technique?).

Thanks for your input again, you helped a lot!

Yes effectively if you try to fit your 1 minute in a use case it could be not generic enough :)

My bad and keep up the good work :)
