First thing since this is Lemmy I want to say up front this is in regards to a Windows app.

I like to make things sometimes, but I'm terrible at showing them off, is there anyone with a passion for making little demos that could help me out? I'm really proud of this little tool I made but I don't feel like I can really explain it to people well and a demo I could have in the GitHub description would really take it to the next level.

Thanks for taking the time to even read this!

You don't need a video. You need marketing & communication 101. During covid I am sure some professors uploaded lectures to youtube, or pick up the book if it's more your jam. Think about what you want to communicate to a person coming across your project for the first time. Make bullet points and rank them. Then begin writing including all the information in that order.

A good readme would be sufficient. Go to some popular project and copy their structure of its readme in your project.
