Got tired of dealing with repetitive manual tasks on the web, so I built a couple of open-source tools to fix them

Hey everyone! Wanted to share something I've been working on lately. As an indie developer, I was wasting so much time on repetitive manual tasks, so this weekend I finally sat down and coded two lightweight tools to make my life easier:

  • LostMediaGrabber: Built to bypass the painfully slow Wayback Machine interface. It queries the CDX API directly to grab raw media URLs (.jpg, .mp4, etc.) instantly.
  • GiveMeText: Made this because I got sick of having to pause YouTube videos or Google Meet calls just to take quick notes. It extracts live transcripts straight into formatted documents.

Both are 100% free and open-source. I built these mostly because they solved a real headache for me, and I figured they might come in handy for someone else too.

If anyone's curious to see how they work or wants to check out the code, you can find the direct link on my profile! I'd love to hear your thoughts or any feedback you might have.
