Vimeo for code tutorials

Concern

Concern 1:
Following along with Vimeo video players isn't ideal for coding. Vimeo doesn't have a "Fill Browser" function, only full screen. With no way to increase visibility of the video without losing access to the terminal view, it can be hard to follow along. The only way to make it really work is to increase the entire page size but even then its still not great.

Placing the screens on top of each other helps the video, but then coding ergonomics aren't as nice because you have reduced visibility of large chunks of code and the user must focus on the bottom corner of the screen.

Concern 2:
Coding font contrast doesn't meet accessibility standards. The font color #B01EC0 (pulled from still of video) fails contrast standards for the web content accessibility guidelines for black backgrounds. This further compounds reading difficulty.

Suggested Changes

• Enable "Fill Browser" options on video embedding if available. If not, utilize another service.
• Increase text size when making the video by Ctrl + Scroll Wheel to increase visibility before recording.
• Change font colors to meet accessibility standards.
