Hi, I'm a developer and first time i shipped the real product after observing the startups and indie hackers community for years. I had made so many useless apps [you should check my website https://ansh.life], but this time I built a very useful product that has a number of super easy-to-use tools in one app for video, music, and photo files. Users can compress, convert, resize, and do so much more with easy-to-use tools. Background: I developed a frame-by-frame video cropper to upload cropped landscape videos to Instagram Reels. However, it required FFmpeg, and as a noob video…

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.

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 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…

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…

Hey HN, Recently, a friend introduced me to the Bluesky platform, and I found it intriguing—especially its focus on decentralization. I believe it has the potential to become the next Twitter, and it already has over 13 million users. Today, as I was browsing the platform, I came across a video in one of the posts that I found really interesting and wanted to download to my local drive. However, after searching for a while, I couldn’t find a suitable tool for this purpose. So, I thought, why not create a tool to meet this need? All it should require is the link to a post, and it would allow…

Recently there were some changes to the Twitter algorithm and one of the most important ones was boosting video content even more in the feed, which got me thinking: "Why shouldn't we benefit from the algo changes and get a boost every time we are sharing some visuals?" So I spent the weekend building a tool that: - Turns your images into videos - Has 30 beautiful animated gradients that we can pick from - Is completely FREE I'd love to know your thoughts about it!

Hi there, I'm a freelance software developer who started that project some time ago. I like to download videos from social media platforms like X (f.k.a Twitter) or Instagram. To do so, one normally visits one of the many download service websites, which are often broken, slow or full of ads. So I decided to develop Squidlr, a website that allows you to comfortable download any video from social media sites. Fast, reliable and without any ads. And open source: https://github.com/rgueldenpfennig/Squidlr Currently I support: Twitter / X Instagram Facebook TikTok…
