One search box to find video clips across Twitch, TikTok, Reddit, and YouTube
A solo developer built a web tool that searches video clips from four major platforms at once. Instead of checking each app separately, you get results in one place.
This web tool pulls video clip results from Twitch, TikTok, Reddit, and YouTube into a single search interface. Previously, finding clips on a specific topic meant switching between four different apps and running the same search each time.
Built as a side project by a solo developer, it connects to each platform's API to fetch and display results together. Practical uses include content research, spotting trending clips, or collecting footage around a specific game, meme, or news event.
