Forge

Description:

Introduce a field for video in the OutSystems Forge to accompany components and modules. This field will allow developers to upload short videos demonstrating how to integrate, use, and modify the component in other applications.


Benefit:

Enhances understanding and reduces time spent reading documentation. A few-minute video can clarify usage and customization, saving users from common questions and streamlining the development process.

Certainly there is a great benifit but when I see from Outsystems point of view there are few challenges

1 - Videos consume lot of storage space. So it will cost in terms of money to Outystems. Will make the infrastructure costlier

2 - It is very difficult to see video and validate it considering time need to spend


But must say idea is very good. If feasible to Outsystem then their team should facillitate community with this idea

Meanwhile users can upload vide somewhere else and share link in Documentation

Hi @Mangesh Phanse ,


Thanks for your feedback. I understand the concerns about storage costs and validation time. Allowing external video links could address storage issues while still providing helpful visual guidance. I hope OutSystems considers this. Thanks again for your insights! 


Warm regards,

This can also be addressed by allowing devs to link videos on other platforms like linkedin or youtube , or even bevy pending the forge asset teams approval helping build collaboration.
