Built a Social Media Video Downloader App
// 1 min read
The reason I built this: someone from India requested it, I said I’d do it, and then overestimated the timeline — told them 1 month. BRUH. Finished it in 2 days. I just didn’t trust myself enough, especially factoring in writing the backend API. In the end they didn’t go with my version. I did it anyway for the experience.
How it works: you drop a link in the app, it loads on the backend, the backend sends back a download link, and the app downloads it. Once “Video downloaded” appears, the file is deleted from the server. Videos land directly on your device.
Supports: LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, and more. You can share downloads or save to gallery. Originally in Azerbaijani, switched to English thinking about open-sourcing later.
High-quality downloads. Hope it’s useful.
