just put yt-dlp on your path and you can do this without sharing your data with some weird SEO garbager it's so lamentable that putting a binary on your path is too technical for most people these days as the user experience is so so much better than any other option, anytime I want to share a short form video i can Ctrl + L -> Ctrl + C to get the link, Ctrl + R to summon a command prompt, type `ytdl` Shift + Insert…
https://cobolt.tools is free, open source, and more feature complete. It’s my go-to and I think it’s awesome.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to support Instagram stories, which is the type of media I find myself wanting to save the most. OP: in case you weren't aware, websites that do this have been facing legal challenges recently, with some being shut down. I suspect that's part of the reason there's room in the market for yours... while it lasts :(
What's Double Subtitles? Sounds interesting!
The longer story is:
I started working on an AI-empowered subtitle editor in 2020 before the GPT boom. The idea was great but unfortunately my work-status didn't allow me to launch. So I waited until everything was proper, and then launched Double Subtitles late 2023.
I'm trying to figure out how to get my first customers.
A few differentiators with Double Subtitles are:
1. The speech-to-text response time is industry leading 2. It supports up to 1 hour long videos while most competitors support 5-10 minutes max

Congrats on the launch! Your oembed endpoint is pretty fast! Would love to hear some technical details about your product.

I agree with you that yt-dlp is the most practical way to do this stuff, but that simply isn't clear to most folks. Pretend you don't know how to download videos, the first thing you do is google "how to download youtube videos". The result? A whole lot of bad advice-- sketchy websites, clickbait videos, advice to pay for youtube premium, warnings that it's illegal and that google can cut off your access, vlc player…
Which is a GUI wrapper around it.
