I wanted to express my gratitude to you all here on Nostr for watching and giving feedback on my vlogs. The practice here and the refinement I was able to put into my videos has helped me find my voice, even as it's still a work in progress.
I would love to hear your honest suggestions on a couple of things:
1. How can I improve the vlog to make it more watchable and more informative?
2. What topics would you like me to cover?
