Creating Video Essays

There are a lot of things that I want to learn. And probably it is the main reason I am not learning any properly, that I want to learn A LOT OF THINGS.

Anyway, everyone does not need to be successful, but everyone should be trying what they want.

So, one of the things I want to learn is - Creating Awesome Video Essays.

Video essays are amazing because ...

Well, I will not say they much more awesome than other forms, when there are awesome text-based essays like  Roger Federer as Religious Experience by David Foster Wallace, illustrated essays like The Fermi Paradox by Tim Urban. Even there must nice audio essays, but I don't know.

Things I'm into now - Converting web app into Mobile App

A quick update on one of the things I am up to now (Yeah, I am stupid, get involved in so many projects all at a time).

I am just trying to create an eCommerce website with my friend. He has a business idea that we wanted to try.

It will be local business related - I'm not interested to discuss all of it now. But I was building an eCommerce website, which is just easy with WooCommerce but it has some custom features which is not that common, so we are struggling.

Also, for the business to be successful, we think a mobile app will do a better job.

I do not have programming experience, but I figure out a small front end and UI related stuff but have no experience with app development. And my friend has some coding experience, but not enough to completely handle complete full-stack development also not experience with Mobile app development.

So we are trying to figure out the easiest, fastest and cheapest way to build one.

If the image is wider than the space provided for a blogger post, the image stretches beyond the post area and messes up with the sidebar.
