I can see it being useful as a web app.

I would suggest that you consider also add a mobile app so you have a rounded offering.

As on a regular basis I see a video in tiktok and want to share with people who refuse to join Tiktok, so use one of the many apps available to download and then send via WhatsApp.

bramhaag•7mo ago
> I would suggest that you consider also add a mobile app so you have a rounded offering

Why does everything have to be a mobile app? The website works fine on mobile.

hamburglar•7mo ago
Indeed. This compulsion is infuriating because it becomes normalized to require an app for things that very much should be a website.

At least once a month I have the experience where I either have to ask someone “am I forced to used your app to use your product/service” and they are baffled by the resistance. I just went through the exercise of net-sniffing my kids’ school bus status app because it is obviously just a wrapper around a web UI but nobody —- not the district nor the company that makes the app —- will actually admit this. Turns out there is a secret web page that offers the EXACT same functionality from a mobile browser. And the kicker: it works better.

ksec•7mo ago
I am more surprised by the name! How did you even manage to get the domain?
varun_ch•7mo ago
I noticed the website looked quite similar to other websites for downloading videos, and then found the link to your personal website in the footer (which links to your other sites). How/why do you run so many similar websites? Surely the domain name costs alone are insane? And all linked back to your name? Legal liability? Is this profitable?

Do you ever get threatening letters from the legal departments of these companies?

I once built a site like this for a popular social media site, and got an email from their lawyers claiming “Unlawful Use of COMPANY’s Trademarks / Service Marks”

(Not OP) More than just letters https://torrentfreak.com/tag/yout/

A 4 letter dotcom registered in 2002. Curious what it was used for, how you got it for this project, and what it's worth on the market if you were to sell it. I feel a sense of awe like it's an old statue.
saddist0•7mo ago
My guesss, but I wonder if it was bought for Tikt = Ticket?
thekevan•7mo ago
"A 4 letter dotcom"

My guess is it was bought because of that.

abxyz•7mo ago
They’re not that valuable. There are a lot of domains from the 90s that you can pick up for cheap. All 4L .coms sold out in the mid 2000s and on the open market they typically start around $350 for junk letters and go up from there. The OP probably paid under $1500 for this domain and I’d guess they bought it recently.

3L.com domains start at around $10k for the worst letters and go up from there.

2L.com start around $500k.

Add in numbers and the price falls substantially. You can pick up 2 letters + 1 number (e.g: b0w.com) for under $500.

nikanj•7mo ago
Where should one head if they wanted to get a short domain like that?
fragmede•7mo ago
the domain itself. eg josj.com (picked at random) is available.
nikanj•7mo ago
Ah, those were monthly prices for leasing the domain, not prices to buy? At least josj.com is offering a monthly plan
throwaway290•7mo ago
Is this even legal? All those IANA rules about identity verification and then you just lease it to whoever
abxyz•7mo ago
Marketplaces like atom.com, sedo.com, aftermarket.com, namecheap.com/market etc. have domain names priced for "end users" which means you'll probably see quite high prices (but you can often negotiate down).

The best deals are from expired domain name auctions which is where domains like b0w.com sell for under $500. You can participate in auctions at auctions.godaddy.com, snapname.com, namecheap.com/market, dropcatch.com, catched.com, gname.com etc.

You can use namebio.com to find historic domain name sale prices which will help you get a sense for the values.

expireddomains.net has a complete list of all expiring domains and where to participate in the auctions.

GoDaddy has tens of thousands of expired domains going up for auction each day: you can filter by length and extension. The world of domains is complicated but if all you want to do is get a short domain for cheap then check the GoDaddy auctions each day and wait. prfu.com, exfh.com and zpun.com are ending in a few hours and will likely end under $500.

The person who linked you to josj.com is confusing things: domains can be leased but that's very uncommon, leasing domains is a bad business to be in. josj.com ever finding a leasee at $500/month is a fantasy. List prices are rarely the actual value. Lease-to-own is more common but separate (lease-to-own is essentially a payment plan).

What's preventing this website from injecting malware or doing other nefarious things before serving the content?
giancarlostoro•7mo ago
Same thing preventing ad networks from being used the same way. Which is how I got malware on my system for the last time ever (I stopped letting Flash and Java run in browser).
cellularmitosis•7mo ago
Is it possible for an mp3 or mp4 to contain malware?
phyzix5761•7mo ago
You can disguise something to look like an mp3/mp4 and it includes 2 parts. The media file and code that executes in the background.
arcfour•7mo ago
But you would need something that interprets the MP4 or MP3 as an executable, or an exploit in whatever decoder software is being used that allows you to hijack execution and run your own code instead of decoding and playing the media?

Or you are talking about an executable that simply plays a media file but is still actually an executable...which is an unsophisticated "attack" that I'm pretty sure was last used 20 years ago for being so obvious?

phs318u•7mo ago
Yes.

https://app.opencve.io/cve/?q=%28description%3A%22mp3+%22+OR...

WhyNotHugo•7mo ago
Nothing really, like any website which serves video files. But it's pretty hard to insert malware into video files; you'd need to find a vulnerability which you can exploit in some common video players for them to be worthwhile.
metalman•7mo ago
I can see this bieng very important for some people who want to recover local copys of there own work, and also as a generalised way to jail break a good chunk of the internet for ordinary people,giving a sort of personal album of favorites that you dont have to search for, well you know what I mean, at least it's on your phone the idea of copyright bieng theoretical for any of the big outfits scraping up everything for there latest LLM, so it's all whatever , another thing is that these days you need to have blinders on when scrolling the ordinary net as anything, anything at all, might just pop up past the sensors, so saving the good stuff when you find it, and hoping it works as brain wash
