About this project
A first coding project that kept growing
Get Videos started as a small learning project and grew into a careful browser-based tool for public video links.
The story
I began building this project when I was a 15-year-old high school student in Wyoming. I have since graduated from college, but I still think of it as the first project that made web development feel real.
My older brother is a Google engineer, and he encouraged my early computer learning and exploration. He pushed me to build practical things, ask careful questions, and think about user safety as part of engineering.
What the site does
The site helps visitors inspect public video links and choose from available browser-download options. It is meant for lawful personal, educational, and creator-owned use.
The site does not host videos, store media files, or claim ownership of content from other platforms.
What I learned
The project taught me how frontend interfaces, backend services, containers, privacy notices, copyright rules, and public website operations fit together.
The goal is to keep improving it as a responsible independent project, not as a way to bypass creator rights or platform rules.
