Hi everyone! My name is Gissur. I'm an Icelandic web developer living in the Scottish borders. I've just launched a new javascript/coding youtube channel, and wanted to share it with the dev.to community.
This is my first endeavour at put any content like this out, so I would love to get some suggestions/feedback on how I can make this better, and what you would like to see in the future.
The first video discusses the often mysterious this keyword in javascript. Also helps explain the call, apply and bind functions, functions that often look scarier than they actually are.
I thought that explaining the this keyword would be fitting since the channel is named after it =) I will be trying to do a good mix of core javascript concepts, along with more advanced concepts. Also probably do full episodes on working with the command line, git, vscode, npm etc.

Here is the code, so you can follow along: github.com/gissisim/callapplybind
After getting feedback that one viewer had a hard time reading the text. I've also released a zoomed in version. Please let me know which one works better. Small issue with the zoom at the start.

Hey @gissisim , if you'd be interested in uploading video to the dev.to platform natively (see this post as an example), @ben can turn that on for you. Just let him know: )
Very cool. Will reach out to Ben. Thanks!
Hey Gissur, just gave you permission to upload video. You should now see the button in your dashboard
Cool =) Thank you Ben! Will upload the next one.
Pretty cool Gissur.

Thanks Jason. I actually remember your article, because I read it when I was prepping the content for my video =)
Thanks, pretty good video. Next time try to get under 10 min ;)
Agree. I think future videos will be shorter.
