24 alternatives to Trott – search,sort,extract social media videos(ig,yt,tiktok)
I built Trott out of frustration with my own “Saved” folders on Instagram and YouTube. I’d save reels and shorts—workout tips, recipes, travel spots—thinking I’d find them again later. But, like most people, I ended up with a black hole of unsorted videos: no search, no filters, and if I ever did find the right video again, I’d have to dig through the whole thing just to get that one detail I needed. When I tried looking for solutions, I found only genre-specific apps or tools that demanded manual uploads or new workflows. None felt like they understood how real users behave or save content.…
Trott is a tool for organizing and searching videos saved from Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

SocialKit▲92Hi HN, I’ve been working on a side project called SocialKit, a simple API for scraping structured data from public social media posts (YouTube, Shorts, more coming soon). It's designed for dev, no-code users, and marketers who want to extract things like summaries, transcripts, details, and more from YouTube. I sold two previous side projects (LectureKit and CaptureKit), and this is my latest attempt at building something useful and focused. I would love to get any feedback :) Happy to answer any questions, and thanks for checking it out! Jonathan

Scriptmine▲86I built this for myself. I make videos, and my biggest bottleneck is figuring out what to say to my audience without staring at a blank page. So I built Scriptmine: a tool that listens to Reddit conversations in my niche, finds high-signal topics, and turns them into scripts. How it works: - Track subreddits and discussions relevant to a niche - Rank topics by engagement/momentum - Generate a hook/body/CTA draft in a chosen voice/format

Hey Hacker News, Myself and another nomad have been working on this for a few years. It's a travel blog that aims to make it easier to write (and read) by limiting you to one photo and 350 characters per day. The first part was easy (making it work for us), the second part took a lot longer (adding all the polish to make it usable). Mostly it's a passion project borne out of lack of alternatives. If we were going to monetise it would probably be by adding a feature to turn posts (trots) into postcards, and make a small markup over a printing API like lob.com. Probably not a huge market, but…

This is a chrome extension I made. You visit tiktok.com and sign in, the extension retrieves MP4s and puts them in a folder. My goal: the TikTok algorithm has helped me find wonderful things. I consider the list of my [Likes] to be a treasure collection, and want to make sure I don't lose them. If you don't have time to try, here's a video walking through all the features: https://youtu.be/BoHOdRxHgP0 Is it free: Yes. (I did test a payment modal once, but users gave me 1-star ratings for it, so I removed 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…
