Effortless Video Sharing with Phoenix LiveView and FLAME

As someone who loves experimenting with new technologies, I recently got the Vision Pro (I’m a big fan of VR and the idea of working in mixed reality). What excites me the most is sharing the cool stuff I discover, with my friends and colleagues, like how amazing it is to have a floating 3D model in mixed reality, built with just a few lines of Swift code.

Most of my friends are on WhatsApp, and communities I follow are on forums, Reddit, or Discord. But here’s the problem: when I want to share something, it’s usually a video, and many of these videos can be hundreds of MB or even a few GB. Most platforms limit video size to ~60MB, and Reddit doesn’t allow direct video uploads, so I end up having to post a link instead. The process of resizing, cutting, and trimming videos kills the simplicity of sharing. Currently, the easiest way is to upload unlisted videos on YouTube, but that doesn’t feel right either—I want more control.
