I've used quite a few video downloader sites over the years, and honestly, the experience is usually frustrating.

You click download → random redirect → close the tab → click again → another ad → somehow end up on a completely different website.

Sometimes there are multiple fake download buttons, some add watermarks, some ask you to create an account, and some just feel sketchy to use.

After getting annoyed with this one too many times, I decided to build my own as a small side project.

It's called AnySaver. The idea was simple: paste a public link, choose what you want, and download it without having to fight the website.

A few things I intentionally kept out:

• No ads (it's a side project), no pop-ups, no redirect loops
• No fake download buttons
• No login, no account, nothing to install
• No watermark added by AnySaver

It currently supports a bunch of platforms including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X, Pinterest, Threads, Snapchat Spotlight, LinkedIn, Twitch and others. It also handles Instagram carousels and TikTok photo posts.

There are still some rough edges. It only works with public content, and some longer YouTube videos can take a while. I'm still working on improving it.

If anyone wants to mess around with it: anysaver.app

I'm more interested in feedback than anything else. If something breaks, the download quality isn't right, the UI is confusing, or you think I'm missing a platform, let me know. I built this myself, so I can fix things based on what people find.

Honestly, I just wanted a downloader that didn't make downloading something feel like a battle.😅

I’m looking for movies with a powerful story that completely pulls you in, something so engaging that I can't stop watching and keeps me thinking even after it's over.

I love movies with strong storytelling, emotional depth, great characters, and memorable endings. It doesn't have to be fast-paced or action-packed from the beginning, a slow burn is absolutely fine if the story pays off.

Some of my favourites:

• Interstellar
• The Shawshank Redemption
• The Pursuit of Happyness
• The Green Mile
• Forrest Gump
• The Prestige
• The Dark Knight
• Good Will Hunting
• Whiplash

Please recommend that something that i must watch!

Need some advice from people who've dealt with HDFC.

I applied for the HDFC Swiggy Credit Card and the Swiggy app showed it approved with a ₹54,000 limit. My Aadhaar e-KYC was successfully authenticated too — I have the HDFC SMS confirming it (with auth code and everything).

Then a field verification executive called me for physical verification and thumb impression. When he found out my home address was a bit far/inconvenient for him to travel to, he basically declined to complete the verification.

A little while later I got an SMS: "we could not process your application as per the bank's internal policy guidelines." No real reason given.

Here's the part that bugs me — I'm already an existing HDFC savings account holder. My KYC and address are on file with them, and my Aadhaar e-KYC for this application went through successfully. So the only thing that "failed" was a verification agent not wanting to make the trip.

I called the credit card helpline and all they did was give me an email ID to send a complaint to.

Any advice appreciated. Feels unfair to get rejected over a verification agent's convenience when the bank already has all my details.

From 1999 to December 2003, DMK was in an alliance with the BJP. And recently as well, it is known that they tried hard to join hands with the BJP and AIADMK (as confirmed by the Communist parties, IUML, VCK, and the Assembly Speaker) to defeat TVK. But at the same time, they are spreading the narrative that Vijay/TVK is a BJP B-team.

Are DMKians really not accepting the reality? Is it simply a lack of awareness among DMK cadres, or are they intentionally doing this?

I’m not attacking any party here, but people are seeing what DMK is doing. People are not fools anymore!

I want to share my experience so that others can avoid making the same mistake I did.

There is a bike service centre called RAPIDPIX at the Indian Oil petrol bunk, opposite the Passport Office in Koramangala 8th Block. I was curious about their service, so I enquired and eventually gave my bike for a general service. I had already changed the engine oil just 2 weeks ago, so I specifically told them that I only wanted a general service and did not need an engine oil change.

They told me the service would take around 30–45 minutes, so I decided to sit there and watch. Honestly, within a few minutes of them starting the work, I became concerned. The mechanics did not appear experienced to me. They were figuring out basic things like how to remove the engine oil cap and even arguing among themselves about which bolt to remove.

Things got worse when they started working around the rear wheel and chain. One mechanic loosened the wheel/axle bolt, after which the chain became loose. He then tried to fix the chain tension, but couldn't seem to figure it out. When I asked him, "Bhai, kya kar rahe ho?", he couldn't properly explain what he was doing. Another mechanic came over and they started tightening and loosening different bolts, but the issue still wasn't properly resolved.

At this point, I became frustrated and asked for the manager's number. They initially didn't give it to me, so I asked the petrol bunk manager for the number. I called the RAPIDPIX manager, but even he wasn't giving me a satisfactory response.

Eventually, they finished the service. However, I could clearly see that the wheel wasn't properly secured and the brake didn't feel properly adjusted. I paid ₹475 for the service and left.

Later, I took the bike to a local mechanic. He checked the bike and told me that the wheel had not been properly fixed and the tyre/wheel alignment was completely wrong. I ended up paying another ₹700 to get the general service and necessary corrections done properly.

So I basically paid ₹475 to RAPIDPIX for a service I wasn't satisfied with, and another ₹700 to fix/re-do the work.

Maybe I just had a bad experience, but based on what I personally saw and what happened to my bike, I would strongly recommend avoiding this service centre. Please be careful, especially if you're leaving your bike there without watching the work.

Back in the day, me and the people around me used to talk about cricket all the time - not just IPL, but Tests, ODIs, bilateral series, players, performances, everything.

But these days, I barely see people discussing cricket anymore. Even when matches are happening, it doesn't feel like cricket is part of everyday conversations the way it used to be.

I'm wondering if this is actually a wider trend or just something I'm noticing in my own circle. Has cricket genuinely lost some of its cultural relevance, or have people simply moved on to other forms of entertainment and social media?

What do you guys think changed?

I'm planning to buy a used Pixel 8 for ₹22,000 (~$252) because I'm currently facing some financial constraints and can't afford a new one.

Phone details:

• Age: 1.5 years old
• Original box & bill: Yes
• Condition: Two minor scratches on the body (none on the display), everything else looks great and works fine.
• No visible issues with the screen or camera.

Do you think ₹22,000 (~$252) is a fair price? Please give your honest suggestion on this

I need a Netflix series that's so addictive I end up saying, "Just one more episode" until it's 3 AM. I just want something with a gripping story that hooks me from the first episode and keeps getting better.

Some of my favorites:

• Breaking Bad
• Money Heist
• Stranger Things
• Dark
• Squid Game

I applied for a Bajaj EMI Card around a week ago, but my KYC is still showing as Pending.

The weird part is that whenever I try to update my email ID or home address, the app/website just throws an error every single time. I've been trying for the last week on different days and it's still the same.

Has anyone faced this issue before? How did you get your KYC completed? Did you have to visit a branch or contact customer support, or is there any other workaround?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
