I liked the product you made very much and you mentioned Matthew Peech so I know you are paying attention to good mentors. Kudos to you. I would only have one possible improvement I'd suggest and this is in regard to your presentation. Reduce the volume of the music when you are talking. Your instructions were clear but I could hardly hear them. No problem, I switched to captions and was just fine. In the same vein though a selection of smoother easy going music, simple music would, well, might have have suited the project build better. The music playing sounded more like a ninja spy on a secret mission; lots of intrigue. Again, no worries, you do you and you'll figure this stuff out at your own speed. Did I mention I really liked the project. I'm going to make a few of those to sell. Thanks for the ideas! subscribed and liked; have a fine day!
