Either that or use a PaaS that deploys to VMs. Can't make recommendations here but you could start by looking at Semaphore, Dokku, Dokploy.
I first thought of using a presentation tool like keynote, but it can be limiting if you want to make more complex content, like showing browser tabs, drawing diagrams, etc.
If your content is more technical, I think is best to just record your screen and show the command line or editor. Most people use OBS to record the screen and show your face at the same time. You can explain things with a diagram tool like excalidraw. Theprimeagen and "Theo - t3․gg" work that way, they first make a live stream, then edit that stream into a Youtube video.

If your content is more "infotainment" like Fireship, he explains his way of making videos here [2] and this video also goes into his process more [3]

Does Gel support multilingual full text search?
I see you are using yt-dlp for YouTube, my app originally also played YouTube videos scraped with yt-dlp, but I found that it is very hard to get YouTube audio "at scale" even when rotating IP, using proxies, etc. You will eventually get blocked, so I dropped the whole thing and focused on podcasts.
But with your app the user runs it locally so that shouldn't be a problem. Good luck.
1. A HUGH repository of raw materials, both in text and in audio. They are all written/recorded by native speakers, not non-native language teachers.
1.5. (Optional) The materials come with supplemental vocabulary lists and grammar guides.
2. You take a test.
3. It recommends materials for you to read/listen to, according your proficiency level shown in the test.
3.5. (Opt-in) it can read your YouTube history and social media to recommend materials that you might like.
4. Every month or every N hours of reading/listening, you take a new test to recalibrate your proficiency level.
That's it. However due to copyright issues, I don't expect to see such an app in near future. What a bummer.
(Not-so-off-topic) Personally I consider all the apps that don't resemble the above workflow "dictionary-like" (useful but as a reference tool, not a learning tool) or "Duolingo-like" (a healthier alternative to doomscrolling, but nothing more). The article sounds Duolingo-like.
It's basically a podcast player where you can browse a database of podcasts filtered by spoken language, and listen with transcriptions and translations.
For each language I made a podcast to learn the most frequent words.
You can also get audible feedback on your pronunciation.
I am in the process of building a YouTube database of channels by spoken language to play youtube videos on the app.

I slightly disagree with this part, I think the moment you add some sort of "test" or drills it can become tedious or dreadful to learn in the long term.
