I built an all-in-one social media downloader for 50 platforms

Hacker News - Sat, 04/12/2025 - 5:33am

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 because I needed it, and I figured someone else probably does too.

I know it isn’t perfect — just so you know, UI improvements and bug fixes are actively in progress.

Supported platforms:

Tiktok, Douyin, Capcut, Threads, Instagram, Facebook, Espn, Pinterest, imdb, imgur, ifunny, Izlesene, Reddit, Youtube, Twitter, Vimeo, Snapchat, Bilibili, Dailymotion, Sharechat, Likee, Linkedin, Tumblr, Hipi, Telegram, Getstickerpack, Bitchute, Febspot, 9GAG, oke.ru, Rumble, Streamable, Ted, SohuTv, Xvideos, Xnxx, Xiaohongshu, Ixigua, Weibo, Miaopai, Meipai, Xiaoying, National Video, Yingke, Sina, Vk-vkvideo, Soundcloud, Mixcloud, Spotify, Zingmp3, Bandcamp

Show HN: UI Prompt Explorer – Make AI Write Beautiful UI

Hacker News - Sat, 04/12/2025 - 5:27am

The genesis of this product came from my recent experience using AI for projects. While I could clearly articulate functional requirements, I struggled with describing UI needs - vague prompts like "make it look nicer" or "add more design flair" produced mediocre results.

Everything changed after consulting a senior UX designer from a major tech company. He revealed that contemporary design styles actually follow established patterns: "With the right keywords, AI can generate significantly better UIs." Through his guidance, I discovered that adding specific style descriptors like "Microsoft Fluent Design" or "minimalist style" dramatically improved output quality.

This insight inspired UI Prompt Explorer: A curated gallery showcasing well-crafted AI-generated UIs alongside their exact prompts. When users find styles they like, one click copies the optimized prompt for immediate use in tools like Claude/Cursor/Lovable/Bolt, enabling consistent generation of production-ready web interfaces.

Ask HN: Why do so many devs struggle with launching their own product?

Hacker News - Sat, 04/12/2025 - 5:21am

I’ve talked to dozens of developers who can build incredible things, but few know how to market, sell, or validate an idea.

Why is that? And what are the most helpful resources or habits that helped you make the jump from code to business?

I recently put together a site on this topic: https://fromcodetobusiness.benxlabs.com – it’s a lead magnet + waitlist for a deeper guide. But first, I want to learn more from the community.

What advice would you give your past self before launching your first product?
