In every _written_ form, I can do a search. In videos I can just watch, often unprofessional, unclear voices, some weird and wild clicking around when someone wants to "show" you things in an 8 minute video, which can be done in 3 lines of text.

I am not part of the video generation and I will never like videos.
Plain simple text with some screenshots and good structured class/hierarchy documentation is all that is required.
