I've built an app that uses the browser and CSS styling to create videos (mp4/gif), meant for stuff like landing pages and social media. I've wanted to improve presentation and engagement in the projects and products I build, and more video seemed like one of the pieces to that puzzle.
As a solo developer, I thought it would be impossible to build a video app, so I leveraged everything I could to make it happen. The biggest tool I leveraged was the browser - letting it handle elements, layouts, styles, and animation so I could generate videos. Because I use the browser, any css/js I add to the frontend UI automatically work in the backend and renderer.
