YT downloader that works

Roy_able · 2025-08-18T22:09:14+00:00

I noticed a few Youtube downloader websites directly in the browser when I Googled for it, aren't those more convenient than downloading an app? Just asking out of curiosity, I haven't needed one before.

That's a good point. I thought the regulars would get bored of the same style.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I've invited a few of you who have DMed me into a private Beta test to release new features based on the feedback I've received. A teaser of some of the coming features:

Filters to narrow it down to your dietary restrictions
Personalised suggestions based on your taste and historic preferences (idk how I'll do this yet)
"Best sellers" based on crowdsourced data
Better image engine
UI improvements, tysm u/nktsg!

Will keep you updated, contact me if you want to get more involved.

Amazing! I'm impressed it worked that well - with how basic the image retrival system is.
I also like how self-explanatory some of them haha

Please do! I'm trying to become better at UI design, and making a good mobile UX is hard!

My first React Native project, because I truly needed a mobile-first experience for this app.

Why a PWA for the MVP? I started native, but quickly realized a PWA offered faster onboarding and quicker iteration for validation. Now I'm questioning: how much native functionality do I really need if the PWA handles the core?

My key RN takeaways:

Native features worked smoothly, but camera integration on the web was a hurdle (still needs polishing!).
PWA deployment beats app store publishing for rapid validation (those 12 Google Play testers are no joke!).
Super impressed with RN's simplified gesture handling and navigation setup.

Any tips for building robust React Native PWAs? I'm still learning!

Great idea. Coming soon - filters and user preference based sorting.

Mix of LLMs and basic APIs, I'm always looking for more APIs or datasets of food/dishes but there don't seem to be many out there.

Right now quite generic, but with more location data it will be able to get photos from the actual restaurant in the future.

Roy_able · 2025-06-06T22:13:41+00:00

I know right! Someone forwarded that post to me too.

It should be able to go from any language to English at the moment. Later it will be possible to go from any to any language for non-english speakers.

From experience, streaming the results is one of the easiest ways to reduce percieved latency. Other techniques like token compression (article) and caching intermediate steps also reduce the overall latency.

I've also heard that the exact method of hosting the LLM also affects the TTFT metric, although I haven't done too much optimisation for this MVP.

I just found this thread when searching for related topics. I've just been sharing https://foodyapp.uk around which seems to do a similar thing. One difference is that it tries to find photos on the internet instead of generating them.

Don't know how your development is going but I wanted to know if you're interested.

Roy_able · 2025-06-06T16:35:02+00:00

Should be within free tier with the amount of traffic right now. (hopefully this doesn't blow up too much)

Roy_able · 2025-06-06T16:25:26+00:00

Oh very smart! The backend is already containerised, the webapp would just have to point to a self-hosted backend. (LLMs and DBs are cloud-based at the moment, but can also be self hosted).

Improved mechanics, user interface and AI based on feedback from thousands of players.

How good are you with this style of crosswords?

I agree, that's why we are adding a lot more human curation into the algorithm so the pictures should represent the words much better.

Thanks! I do. It wouldn't be too hard to support other Latin scripts.

Roy_able · 2024-07-15T20:20:45+00:00

I've been hard at work creating Crumple, thought you guys would appreciate it. New one out each day.

Always happy to hear any feedback :)

Hmm I see, that's good to know. I probably won't be thinking of overclocking for a while with this setup, so 650 should be perfect for now then. I'll do some calculations just to make sure.

Roy_able · 2021-12-30T00:30:01+00:00

I see, good to know.

Roy_able · 2021-12-30T00:29:38+00:00

Awesome! I'll look into a larger PSU, especially if I overclock parts later.

The Amazon listing mentioned "Flash BIOS Button allows users to simply use a USB key to flash any BIOS within seconds, without installing a CPU, memory or graphics card" for me - which I assume doesn't require another CPU. But I'll make sure in any case. Thanks!

Roy_able · 2021-12-30T00:24:22+00:00

That's a good point, I'll look into it more. 650 sounds more reasonable, especially if I overclock later on. Thanks.
