Show HN: DownloadStuffs – search, preview, and download from Internet Archive (downloadstuffss.vercel.app)

1 points by dawitworku ↗ HN
Hi HN,

I built [DownloadStuffs](https://downloadstuffss.vercel.app/), a fast and modern web app for searching, previewing, and downloading content from the Internet Archive.

It’s designed to make browsing and downloading easier, with features like:

- Real server-side pagination (accurate total pages) - Media-type filtering (movies, audio, texts, software, etc.) - Beautiful, responsive result cards - Item detail pages with custom video/audio/image previews - “Back to results” button to keep your search query, page, and filters - Download proxy endpoint to avoid CORS issues and make downloads reliable

The app is built with *TypeScript + Bun*, and can be run locally or used directly via the live demo: [https://downloadstuffss.vercel.app/](https://downloadstuffss.vercel.app/)

I’d love feedback from the community on:

- UI/UX improvements - Performance optimizations - Additional features you’d like for browsing Internet Archive

*FAQ:* - No, it’s not affiliated with the Internet Archive. It only uses their public endpoints. - Some items may not play if they lack stream-friendly files or are restricted.

Thanks for checking it out!
