Currently, the documentation uses GIFs to demonstrate features and workflows. While GIFs are convenient, they have limitations that impact the learning experience:

Problem:

  • GIFs cannot be paused or slowed down
  • Users cannot rewind to specific parts
  • No playback controls available
  • Can be difficult to follow complex sequences at GIF speed

Proposed Solution:
Replace GIFs with a more controllable video format that allows:

  • Play/pause functionality
  • Speed control
  • Seeking/scrubbing
  • Optional: Frame-by-frame viewing for technical demonstrations

Expected Benefits:

  • Better learning experience for users
  • Easier to follow complex workflows
  • More accessible for users who need slower playback

Yeah, this would be great. Would be nice to not have to use youtube for video embed as well.
