It was more of a notice how far we are of of something apparently
successful on that platform. Pyrecipe is a kind of db frontend. The
nintendo version is more of cooking aid, and looking at the videos, it
really looks like fun.
Don't know if videos are a solution, they tend to be rather big. In
that case why not just take an app that searches cooking epiosodes on
youtube and watch them directly.

Thing with video, or flash to get some interactivity, is who's going
to create them.
A bit of googling didn't give me any comics animation framework, maybe
squeak is something to look at. Surely one wants to control the speed,
replay/skip parts, ideally without touching the device with sticky
fingers :)

Anyhow,
