Need help in White Palace, please!
There is a part in White Palace I just can't get past. It's the part from 18:10 of this video:

I can see how the guy in the video does it, but after 3 hours of trying I only made it once to the last part where the Crystal Heart is needed.
If I quit the game, I have to start the whole damn thing over. Is anyone here willing to do this part for me using some team software?

You don't have to pogo the sawblade, if that's where you're having trouble. (I didn't know Relyea does that though, I do it for fun myself sometimes.) Remember that dash is your best friend when there's no floor. The safe way to do this is to dash to the wall (and if you have time you can do a small hop away and back to get a bit higher), double jump above the blade as it goes down and dash to the left wall again. You don't have to climb very high up that wall before you can do a big wide jump, dash, and then use your (full height) double jump to get to the right wall.

If you do decide to leave though, easier places you can go to practice the skills for that section could include a couple of spots in Crystal Peak. Specifically using precise movement to get through the tunnel-like crystal spike-filled room with the grub in it (to the lower right of the big whispering root room. You can also go through the path to where you'd get the Descending Dark upgrade in Crystal Peak, without killing the Crystal Hunters. That way you have to move fast.

If you want to practice accurate pogos on moving objects (both horizontal and vertical), then I'd suggest the mask shard room in Deep Nest, to the right of the bench closest to the tram.

Thanks for your thorough advice! :-)
I may be too old for this. I made it to the 2nd Crystal Heart spot a few times, but not consistently. Is there any other way to do this than to bump into the (forgot the name of them)? Perhaps stop midway, jump towards the left wall and take it from there?

Ah, I made it on (today's) the first attempt. Did the last part the way I hoped would be more controlled.
I wouldn't mind dying IRL now. My life won't get any better than this. xD

Good to see you got there. You just needed the rest in between, probably. Apparently (at least according to a certain neuroscientist), when you're learning something new and you come to a hard concept, it's when your brain gets to rest (with no stimulation) that neuroplasticity kicks in and new connections are made.
