Yingge Dance — a Video.js v10 skin inspired by Yingge dance, the folk parade dance of Chaoshan, Guangdong. Vermilion red (#C8102E), ink black (#141414) and gold (#D9A441) carry the colours of the dancers' face paint and costumes. The progress bar is a drum-beat segmented bar that pulses like the dance's drums, the play button is a stylised painted-face mask, and the time readout sits on a gold plaque. All standard controls — play/pause, seek, time, volume/mute, fullscreen — stay fully keyboard-operable, with visible focus and escapable menus, on desktop and mobile.
Love seeing a skin rooted in a specific folk tradition. The drum-beat segmented progress bar and the painted-face mask play button tie the controls straight back to Yingge, and the vermilion/ink/gold palette is gorgeous. If you have a moment, I'd love your take on Geiger ☢
A painted-face mask as the play button and a drum-beat progress bar, beautiful cultural reference.

Plate is an HTML skin for Video.js 10. It draws the player the way quickflow.dev draws everything else: a numbered head with a status word, the picture framed by corner marks, a chapter index beside it, a ruler for a timeline and text keys underneath. A player is a diagram of a video's time, so I drew it like one.
What it does
Every chapter cue gets a button in the index, with its own frame from Mux's storyboard. Video.js has no chapter navigation control yet, so a small custom element reads the cues from the player store. Below 760px the index turns into a strip that scrolls with the video.
The time slider is a ruler, with a numbered mark where each chapter starts.
The keys are words you can read. Speed, Quality, Captions and Audio open Video.js menus. Space, K, M, the arrows, J and L, 0 to 9, < and >, F, C and I all work from the keyboard, and every control shows a focus ring.
In fullscreen the picture goes edge to edge, the controls fade while it plays, and an Index key opens the chapters as a side panel.
It comes in three themes (Night, Blueprint, Signal), takes your colours, fonts and corners through public custom properties, and speaks seven languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Romanian, Russian and Arabic, right to left included. It follows reduced motion, higher contrast, reduced transparency and forced colors.
The workbench at plate.quickflow.dev lets you try it on your own video, change every property, watch contrast and control names in a live accessibility readout, and download the CSS for your theme.
Plate plays the showreel on quickflow.dev. The code is open source under Apache 2.0.
does the chapter index stay visible in fullscreen or does it tuck away?

Wheel for play, chain for progress, bell for volume, mirror for fullscreen. So clever.
A dark, glassmorphic Video.js v10 skin. The control bar is a frosted-glass strip that floats over the footage, so it stays legible over both bright and dark video. A violet-to-magenta gradient fills the progress bar and the scrubber glows, giving the seek line a "live" feel. The big play button is a deep violet circle. All five essential controls are present and keyboard-reachable with visible focus outlines, and the bar reflows cleanly from desktop down to a phone-width player. The video is hosted on Mux.🙌
