TIL we have a really nice empty state for when you have no projects

pawlean

How are you all using video for your projects right now?

choir27

I usually link to the Youtube video with anchor tags with a screenshotted image to imitate a Youtube thumbnail. I do want to try using MUX one day, I was interested by the product when I saw it being used in Epic Web Dev!

pawlean

This is my usual go-to as well

A credit card is not required though to get started, right?

I have a maybe off-topic question… but I see on the mux site that there are libraries for JS, Python, Go, etc. but I don't see one for Rust. Does mux have any plans about a Rust library?
