Should "Physics Libraries" be a main track?

[dipamsen]

It makes sense to me that the videos in this track can be separated into chapters - Matter.js, toxiclibs, and Box2D

Even the actual files of the track are separated into folders:

which creates urls, suggesting a main-track like structure:

https://thecodingtrain.com/tracks/physics-libraries/physics-libraries/toxiclibs/3-connected-systems

On the other hand, this track doesn't completely fit the definition of a main track:

“Main Tracks” are sequenced video tutorials that you can follow like a course syllabus.

It is a bit closer to what a side track is (except the order part):

“Side Tracks” are collections of related videos but don’t necessarily need to be watched in order.

It is somewhere in between...

Thoughts?

You could just replace the videos property of a side track with chapters and still call it a side track. It seems to work just fine.

Ah, great, yes, let's keep as a side track but use the chapters!
