Put video in the README #64

@luigy 's video at https://cldup.com/zU-xtcjhZW.mp4 is seriously cool and should be in the README somewhere.

@luigy - are you happy for that to go in the README? And if so, is cldup.com a robust long term place for it, or should it go on YouTube or through one of the gif creators?

@ndmitchell 😄 thanks, I'm definitely in favor of adding it to the readme. It would be nice catchy addition and I would like to make a new one to exhibit the new streaming bits so that it feels "faster" and not misguide anyone into thinking that ghcid is slow since I picked a slow test on purpose to make it easier for me to show the interrupting bits.

Maybe we should even have a few different gifs or a single one that shows other functionality or things that could be taken advantage of with ghcid like with the automatic server restart and hspec retry failed tests only. We should at least link to some of these examples. Hehe maybe I should just get around finally writing that post I have been postponing 😂

I'm not sure how reliable cloudup.com would be, but we will soon see 😂 since I plan turning the new clips into gifs so that they can be displayed inline.

Also any suggestions for an example/feature you would like to expose in a clip?

I would have thought one or two videos at most - just a teaser so people get an idea of what the workflow looks like, rather than a complete feature list. I'm not worried about appearing "slow" - it seemed pretty good in that demo!

Btw, I saw https://asciinema.org/ recently, and it looks very cool. Not sure if it's sufficient for this example as you are moving the mouse to different files, but perhaps.
