Front end developer specialising in JavaScript and React. Experienced in all aspects of modern front end development. Passionate about making accessible, secure and performant software.
Personally I find videos far better for complete courses. E.g. As a beginner to React I would rather watch a course going over a project than read a book about it. Videos are less mentally taxing to follow, and are probably better than random screenshots in books of what the end result should look like.
For specific or more advanced learning, I mostly use text. I find:

It's more thorough and complete as a reference.
There are more articles than videos on advanced topics.
It's easier to skim read and skip to what you need with text.
I completely agree with you! I have lately looked into creating interactive videos on Scrimba scrimba.com/. But they would be more targeted towards beginners.

Nice, hope it goes well :). I hadn't heard of that website before, I'll bookmark it.
Give it a shot! It was developed by @perborgen .
It helped me get my feet wet with React in preparation for my internship :)
Can't speak to the quality of their paid courses, but with the free ones, you have nothing to lose.
