OSS online video downloader for various scoial media platforms
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…

- IBI built an all-in-one social media downloader for 50 platforms2025 · ▲14
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.

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…

- TITetris in a PDF▲1,289
I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…
