Wow, apart from obviously cool project I'm super impressed with the minimalist website design, aesthetics, effort put in the video to match the aesthetics and all without any JS.
Either this is the first time I'm visiting this site or I don't remember; But I wonder how they are managing to compete with Node.JS in the search engines with that name. Google doesn't respect even N-O-D-E, where as DDG brings up the site as first result for N-O-D-E. Not to mention there's another famous Youtube channel by the name Node by Corridor Crew.
They seem to sell some items based on their design along with the stuff they make at their store of the same name, I would like to know how they reach out to their audience from any regular subscriber of their work.
I also liked the transcript below the video so you can read along. I wish more sites would do that. I'm not hearing impaired (though it's definitely a boon if you are), but it's a lot more convenient to just see the words sometimes.
I found N-O-D-E a few years ago when I was just starting to get into programming. Their early raspberry pi gadgets were so cool and encouraged me to go out and try to make my own stuff. On top of that their channel used to do semi regular tech news updates, and after a bit of a hiatus it appears as though they're posting again which is exciting.
I assume their videos got buried by the YouTube algorithms now as it doesn't conform to typical tech (read marketing) videos shot with RED cameras and Robots rigs.
These are all from the articles on the homepage, https://n-o-d-e.net/index.html, many of them contain videos but also with mirrors on YT/archive.org/etc. I would be really interested to know what software he uses to make the videos.
Thank you, Now I feel dumb. I was so preoccupied in digging inside the source to see if it was plain html video tag or are they using custom player that I didn't see Youtube mirror beneath each video and more over my google whacking skills failed me.

I would like to know the encoding parameters he uses to convert the video to .mp4, because when ever I convert my video to .mp4 with handbrake or ffmpeg it fails to play properly in <video></video> in one or more browsers resulting in me putting 3 different sources in my blog (Twitter, direct .mp4/.webm links)[1].
