I’ve always been frustrated with how hard it is to download videos from the internet. Most of the sites that claim to do it are bloated with ads, auto-playing videos, fake download buttons, or just straight-up shady behavior. All I wanted was something minimal that actually worked — no noise, no popups, no tricks. So, I built https://downr.org It's a tiny project that just does one thing: lets you paste a link and download the video. That’s it. No registration, no browser extensions, no messing around with file converters. I didn’t build it to go viral or make money — I built it…

Hi HN reader, I'm a solo-founder navigating product market fit. I've spent 3 years building Double Subtitles which I am very proud of, but I don't know how to do marketing and my growth is somewhat stagnant. Through learning about SEO, I discovered this opportunity that I want to share: There are a lot of websites that let you download social media videos, which have extremely high traffic. But they are all disjoint, in the sense that some download TikTok videos, while others download Instagram videos, others YouTube, etc... I quickly prototyped software which downloads any video from any…

Hi Hacker News, I'm excited to share Paste2Download, a web app that lets you download videos from various platforms like TikTok, YouTube, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest, and even 9Gag, all without watermarks. What it does: Paste2Download simplifies the process of downloading videos by allowing you to paste a video URL from multiple platforms and download the video directly to your device. It removes watermarks and supports a wide range of video sources. Why I built it: There are plenty of sites that can help with downloading videos from TikTok, but many of these websites are…

I'm a solo dev. A few years ago, I got addicted to Reddit. Spent months in that loop. Being a programmer, I thought I'd be clever. Redirected Reddit's domain to nowhere in my DNS file. Worked great until I'd just... open the file and undo it 20 minutes later. So I made it irreversible. Locked the DNS file so it can't be edited unless I boot my Mac in safe mode. And if I do that, there's a script that instantly locks it again. Haven't used Reddit since last year. Problem solved, right? Wrong. I just replaced Reddit with Twitch and YouTube. Started keeping streams running in the background…

Hi HN! I built SkipCut it’s like an ad-free, distraction-free YouTube with useful extras: background play, SponsorBlock, dark mode, playlist support, local history, download/share buttons… and it works on any device. No install. No login. Here’s the best part: It works just by replacing "youtube" with "skipcut" in the video link. You skip all the boring stuff — ads, sponsors, intros, silence, filler and just watch what matters. Why it’s different: No comments. No suggested videos. No clickbait. I made this for my kid, I create a playlist and just send a SkipCut link like:…
