Hi everyone! I just wanted to leave a comment saying that if you're curious about how the service works, I've included an about page: https://vid-distill.herokuapp.com/about.html Furthermore, you can check out the code on my GitHub: https://github.com/rkindi/vidDistill Unfortunately, this is the first time I've ever tried to deploy something to Heroku, so I must admit, the quality of my code could be better. I appreciate any feedback I can get!
