In the past I used videos, with talk, or without talk, to explain dynamic behaviour of projects.
Lately, when I thought it made sense, I switched to short snippets showing behaviour. And when short enough (seconds) to animated GIFs.
I don't really like the silent videos, but the silent GIFs in a story work for me.
Like Jupyter executable notebooks, this allows to show behaviour. It also makes blogs a bit "busy/alive" depending on taste.
Thoughts?

I love gifs, from a technical standpoint I hate gifs.
They're old tech' which are outdated, unoptimised and many sites automatically replace them with embedded MP4 videos because MP4 videos can auto play just like them, are smaller in size, and are better optimised for slow website/transmission delivery.
I love how much information they can convey, as you say, and sometimes a gif speaks for itself.
oh no

Adding autoplay=1&mute=1 at the end of the video url and allowing "autoplay"
That is neat: iFrames are really poor for accessibility though. Autoplay is really poor for my patience as well
