What do you want

I made video tutorials explaining how to install Cordless on any Windows version using scoop, on Android using Termux, and on Linux using the latest release. I thought you might be interested in adding them to your README.md.

Why

I think the videos would benefit Cordless because the installation steps are not easy to understand at first sight.
For example, Make sure PowerShell 5 (or later, include PowerShell Core) and .NET Framework 4.5 (or later) are installed. requires some googling and is not included in the documentation (that's for windows). For Android, I built Cordless from source and explained how to install all the dependencies on Termux, and how to interact with the app since the shortcuts are different (ctrl-alt-a is used to paste). For Linux, I discovered that snapd / golang did not work properly in virtual machines, so I showed how it was possible to download the latest release and just run it.

Implementation hints

Here's the three videos:
Android: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIiuHS2HsAQ
Windows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuZI3nesZk8
Linux (debian based direstos): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCaj1BA4XiM

Hope this helps! And is it okay if I advertize the project on YouTube?

Sure, feel free to advertise it. I'll look into this later and put it into the wiki if I deem it useful. Didn't find the time yet.

So, to be honest, I find such video tutorials quite annoying to watch. For one you aren't explaining a lot, it's pretty much just classic music and me having to constantly ask myself why you are doing things. I personally prefer written up versions. Clearly those are too big for the readme and I am recently trying to keep it smaller. However, if you feel like it, you can write proper guides in the wiki that have more detail than the readme and explain some more stuff, like what scoop does, why you need to install git via scoop, when you actually have to care about having to install external dependencies such as powershell version X and .net framework. And so on and so forth. Anyway, thanks for hitting me up. If you have any tips or so how to make user guidance better, feel free to tell me.
