This has to be intentional. I refuse to believe that someone would do this unintentionally. You are literally making video of a website, the app doesn't have any other feature, yet you don't show us the example!? What causes this? It has to be intentional, but why?

They've probably just asked their agent to create code and a readme. Adding example is too complicated for AI and doing it manually is extra work.
People are too lazy to do actual work now in the age of AI.

This isn’t even an original idea either. Claude proposed to build something similar to me when I asked him how I could present my 2500+ saved Telegram links so that I can browse them more efficiently.
If the author of this repository was proud of their craft (which they can’t be), they would want to show us “how cool it looks” in an example.

You could do this with ffmpeg on a screenshot PNG.
ffmpeg -i screenshot.png -vf \ "crop=iw:1080:0:n*(20000-1080)/600,format=yuv420p" \ -t 10 -r 60 output.mp4

Title of the post fails to describe what this fully does and you didn't seem to have read the repo. This generates a live interaction with the website, with scrolls, timings, clicks, route navigations, etc. A mixture of AI generated cues that you can use via skills + scripts to be feed with those cues that will process the video automatically via headless chromium and ffmpeg. Seems really interesting
