Building a Video Clip Selection Tool with React and Tailwind CSS - Episode 188
4In this video, I work on a video clip selection tool using React and Tailwind CSS. I walk through the process of building a user interface that allows users to select sections of a video, add them to a list, and reorder them. The video covers aspects like state management, preventing duplicate clip selections, and enhancing the UI with features like cursor changes and highlight animations. Additionally, I tackle styling issues and integrate Tailwind CSS to improve the overall look and feel of the components.
Along the way, I talk about my journey in software development, including transitioning from self-taught beginnings in the late '90s to working as a principal engineer and beyond. I also reflect on the value of mentorship, the challenges of imposter syndrome, and tips for tackling technical interviews in today’s market. There’s even some lively interaction with viewers, sharing insights about tools like Docker, DigitalOcean, front-end/backend programming, and more.
Whether you're dealing with your own Rollup challenges or looking for relatable moments from a fellow developer’s journey, this video has a mix of hands-on coding, problem-solving, and community discussions.
