A multi-tool web platform offering social media video downloads, PDF utilities, and image tools, built to handle high concurrent traffic without heavy infrastructure.
Downloadtik started as a social media video downloader and grew into a broader utility platform, bundling several everyday tools into one fast, ad-supported site. Everything is served through an async FastAPI backend with server-rendered Jinja2 templates, keeping the stack simple while still handling real traffic spikes.
