Microcopy around the paste field

Placeholder examples with a real-looking (but fake) video ID teach format faster than “Paste URL here.” Rotate examples occasionally when you regenerate with a new seed.

Inline validation that trims whitespace prevents a surprising share of support tickets.

Print stylesheets for long guides

@media print rules that hide navigation and widen line length help teachers print a single article for offline discussion. It is a small CSS win for goodwill.

Add `page-break-inside: avoid` on headings so sections do not split awkwardly.

Batch jobs and fair-use queueing

Even when policy allows multiple files, rate limits protect your infrastructure and signal good citizenship to platforms you depend on.

Expose queue position honestly instead of infinite “processing” states.
