Follow-up: Live coding? (Patreon)

While there were a couple of critical voices with regards to the idea of just regular "look over the shoulder" live coding, a large number of you showed a huge interest into something more along the lines of screencasts/webinars regarding plugin development, internal architecture of OctoPrint and the like.

That's something I can totally get behind and I'll look into cooking something up like this, probably starting with a first overview of the various components that make up OctoPrint and how stuff fits together as small-ish individual videos. Then maybe showing development of a simple plugin or some small cross-layer functionality within core OctoPrint, possibly as a (commented and prepared) live broadcast, to allow for interaction. Does this sound interesting so far?

Don't get too excited already though because before I can start producing something like that which will take some time to do properly I first need to get my other huge TODOs out of the way which is currently getting 1.3.0 out of the door (on top of the regular maintenance and other tasks ;)). Once that's done though, I'll sketch out some ideas how something like that could be structured and we'll see how that works out!

Finally, let me thank you again for the interest in how I work and how OctoPrint works, I was pleasantly surprised by your positive response to what appeared to me at first to be a rather crazy idea :)
