feat(get-started): embed 3:29 video walkthrough at the top of the page#29
Merged
Conversation
13MB / 506 kbps / 209s MP4 self-hosted at /public/get-started.mp4 with a 47KB poster frame extracted at the 8s mark. Sits above the role-selector — first thing a visitor sees on the Get Started page. Native <video> element with preload="none" so the file only downloads when the user clicks play (page load stays fast). No YouTube embed, no Google referrer leak, no third-party cookies — same self-hosted ethos as the rest of the stack. Layout: max-w-4xl centered card with subtle proton-purple shadow, aspect-video container so the player fills correctly at any viewport. Falls back to a direct download link for browsers without native <video> support. Bandwidth math: Vercel free tier ships 100GB/month, which is ~7,700 views at 13MB each. Well above expected traffic for this surface; cheap to scale past that ($20 / additional 100GB). The written 6-step guide remains the canonical reference below — a small "the written guide below covers the same flow with every command copy-pasteable" caption ties the two together.

<video>element withpreload="none"so the file only downloads when the user clicks play (page load stays fast). The 6-step written guide remains canonical below, tied to the video with a small caption.Why self-hosted (not YouTube / Vimeo / IPFS)
7,700 views; tiers above are cheap ($20/100 GB).preload="none"means bandwidth is paid per click, not per page view.If the video later becomes a perf or bandwidth concern, switching to a CDN (Cloudflare R2, Cloudflare Stream, or YouTube unlisted with a privacy-friendly
youtube-nocookieembed) is a 5-minute swap of the<source>URL.Asset details
