Media Downloader with Hooks - Dockerized

Media-downloader-with-hooks is a containerized TypeScript application built with Bun, Fastify, and Docker that automates the process of downloading and organizing content from YouTube, TikTok, and SoundCloud. The tool offers a responsive Tailwind CSS frontend for visual previews, metadata fetching, and specific time-range clipping, while the backend utilizes yt-dlp to manage high-fidelity audio extraction (WAV for SoundCloud, MP3 for others) and premium quality video. It features a robust post-download workflow that can trigger custom hooks—such as Slack notifications or TikTok auto-uploads, and is designed for seamless integration with media servers like Jellyfin to create a permanent, ad-free media archive.

MoshTube

Moshtube is an interactive, browser-based video synthesizer and VJ tool that allows users to remix and blend dual YouTube video streams in real-time. Built as a creative coding experiment, it features a custom "mosh" engine that applies dynamic SVG filters and CSS blend modes to simulate glitch art, analog signal degradation, and psychedelic visual effects. The application supports granular control over video looping, playback speed, and layer opacity, as well as a "chaos mode" for randomized procedural generation of audiovisual scenes.

Barkley Party

An interactive, audio-reactive 3D visualizer centered around a stylized, cartoonish dog character that floats and dances in space while the user can rotate the scene with their mouse. The background dynamically shifts color—moving along a blue-to-red spectrum—based on sound input, with volume and bass intensity driving the visual mood, so louder or heavier audio makes the scene feel more intense and energetic. Gold crown-shaped particles drift and scatter around the dog, reinforcing the theme tied to the event it was built for.
