Show HN: I made a small tool to download photos and videos from social media

Nice.

Question: why is this a service that needs to be hosted instead of a locally installed cli tool? Is there a technical reason or is it just for the convenience of using a website and not having to install anything?

Thanks. Personally, I wanted to use it on different devices without having to install something every time. I also thought it would be easier for non techies.

Is there an API? How are you dealing with rate-limiting?

We have something that you might be interested in. Just shot me an email: d at meetcortex.com

I found a way to bypass APIs rate limits.

I'm very grateful for what you did. I'd like to tip you through Brave Browser. What do you think?

Hey buddy. You can tip me here https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wassim Thank you for your support!

Nice! We do something similar at my company (meetcortex.com). What are you using for the backend?
