Hey DEV community! 👋
I just launched BlackHole - a free video downloader that works with YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, X (Twitter), Facebook, Pinterest, and Bluesky.
Why I Built This
Most video downloaders are either:
- Full of ads and sketchy pop-ups
- Limited to one platform
- Require registration
- Don't work half the time
I wanted something clean, fast, and reliable. So I built it.
Tech Stack
- Frontend: Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4
- Auth: Clerk
- Database: Convex
- Payments: Mollie
- Backend: yt-dlp + Cobalt on VPS
Features
✅ 8+ platforms supported
✅ HD/4K quality options
✅ No registration required for basic use
✅ Clean UI (no ads, no pop-ups)
✅ Private - we don't store your downloads
Try It Out
Free tier: 5 downloads/day, 720p, 20min limit
Pro tier: 200/day, 4K, 60min limit
