TubeCrate: Simplifying Video Downloads
TubeCrate was born out of necessity. Finding a reliable website to download HD videos with audio in .mp4 format can be surprisingly difficult. This project aims to solve that problem by creating a streamlined solution for downloading videos efficiently and conveniently.
About the Project
TubeCrate focuses on providing a user-friendly API for downloading videos with high-quality audio. While the backend functionality is robust, the frontend is still in progress—a task that, admittedly, feels less exciting but remains essential for a complete user experience.
Features
- Video Downloading: Supports downloading videos in .mp4 format with integrated audio.
- High-Quality Options: Allows users to fetch videos in HD and other resolutions.
- API-Driven Architecture: The core functionality is exposed through a clean and efficient API.
- Docker Hosting: The backend API is containerized using Docker, making deployment and scalability simple.
Technologies Used
- Backend: Built with Python for efficient and scalable API development.
- Deployment: Hosted in a Docker container for easy setup and consistent performance.
- Frontend (in progress): A user-friendly interface is being developed to complement the powerful backend.
Challenges and Growth
This project has been a journey of learning and problem-solving. From understanding video processing to deploying a containerized API, TubeCrate reflects my growth in handling real-world development tasks.
Future Plans
- Completing and launching the frontend to make the platform accessible to non-technical users.
- Adding support for additional file formats and resolutions.
- Implementing a queue system for handling large-volume downloads efficiently.
