Post Description

Hi HN,

I built a simple tool to download Instagram Reels without login.

I noticed many tools are full of ads, so I made a cleaner version.

Would love feedback: https://downreels.com

Thanks!

XDL – A Twitter Video Downloader with No Ads

It pulls direct MP4 URLs using Twitter's Syndication API so you can grab videos without an API key or sign-in — nice, pragmatic shortcut. The UI is razor-focused (paste a tweet, hit Extract, pick quality) and the app serves files straight from Twitter's CDN, which keeps the tool small and reliable; not novel, but useful and low-friction.
