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.…
In plain words
Trott is a tool for organizing and searching videos saved from Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. Users can share reels and shorts directly from their phone's share menu, and the app uses AI to automatically extract and categorize information like ingredients, places, and products. It's designed for people who accumulate large collections of saved videos but struggle to find or organize specific content, offering search and filtering capabilities to turn disorganized video collections into searchable libraries.

In the maker’s words, at launch
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. So I decided to build Trott. What makes Trott different? You can share any Instagram Reel or YouTube Short (TikTok support launches next week) to Trott, straight from your phone’s native share menu—no manual uploads. Trott uses AI to extract relevant info automatically (ingredients, places, products, etc.) and sorts everything for you. It’s fully searchable with natural language. Just type something like “that Kyoto café from Instagram” and Trott finds it. For travel videos, it can even produce Google Maps routes from extracted locations. App Store: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/trott/id6751728352 Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.hattimatiml... I’d love to hear how you organize your own saved content—or if you’ve just given up and let it pile up like I used to. Open to all questions, feedback, and bug reports. Happy to discuss the tech details behind Trott if you’re interested!

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)

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
