My goal is to create a free media downloader that doesn't bother you. friendly, efficient, and has no paywalls or anything like that. I've been working on that for the last 3 weeks or so, it's not perfect yet, but it works, and I'm really excited to share it.

Hi HN, I built a WordPress plugin called Bandwidth Saver. It takes the images your site already has and serves them through Cloudflare R2 and Workers, which means zero egress fees and extremely low storage cost. The goal is to make image delivery fast and cheap without adding any of the complexity of traditional optimization plugins. The idea is simple. WordPress keeps generating images normally. The plugin rewrites the URLs on the frontend so images are served from a Cloudflare Worker. On the first request, the Worker fetches the original image and stores it in R2. After that, Cloudflare’s…

While building a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system, I was frustrated by my vector database consuming 8GB RAM just to search my own PDFs. After incurring $150 in cloud costs, I had an unconventional idea: what if I encoded my documents into video frames? The concept sounded absurd—storing text in video? But modern video codecs have been optimized for compression over decades. So, I converted text into QR codes, then encoded those as video frames, letting H.264/H.265 handle the compression. The results were surprising. 10,000 PDFs compressed down to a 1.4GB video file. Search…

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…

This extension will replace videos on websites with a custom one that use download acceleration to prebuffer as you watch. It works on most websites, including Youtube. Fortuitously, it is also able to bypass Youtube's anti-adblock shenanigans. I started this project in high school to fix the terrible video players used on most websites. Since then, I've received a lot of feedback from my users and FastStream has improved significantly. Now that most bugs have been ironed out, I think I am ready to share it here on HN. It is still undergoing rapid development (multiple releases every week),…
