A check for small video players

Version 0.1.1

Text that looks sharp in a 1080p still can become hard to read when Reddit or another feed plays the video in a small player. explainroo 0.1.1 checks for that before you upload.

explainroo check videos/<name> --view-width 854 reports visible text that would be smaller than 16 pixels in a player 854 pixels wide. Camera and group zoom count toward the size. The agent guide now also asks for a look at a 480p still and at the platform’s own copy after uploading. See checking a smaller player.

The check measures text size. It cannot control the playback quality a platform picks.

The release notes are on GitHub.
