Made an app out of boredom 🥲

So to begin, I used to watch TikTok and Instagram Reels, but there came a time when internet access became a problem — I didn't really have money to purchase data, and the little I got went toward coding on my laptop or watching YouTube. By the time I was exhausted and wanted to relax with TikTok or Instagram (that's where I release my stress 😁), I'd watch 2–3 videos and that was it. Out of internet.

This happened multiple times, so I decided to do something about it. I also had no interest in scrolling my gallery — most of it was videos I'd downloaded from TikTok or Instagram, but I never watched them there because I'd have to scroll past images and random stuff just to find one video.

So I built an offline reel app. Now I can watch all my downloaded videos just like I have internet — no digging through images, just pure scrolling. I loved it, shared it with people around me, got feedback, improved it — and now I think it's time you guys knew about it too. And in case you want to collaborate 😁.
