i'm 20. i built cliply over a quiet weekend — just wanted something simple. no clutter, no chaos. just a clean, fast way to grab a clip and move on.
i didn't expect thousands of people to show up.
but you did.
you shared it.
you supported it.
and you said the kindest things.
some of you compared it to cobalt — which is fair. there are plenty of tools out there, and i respect all of them. cliply wasn't built to compete. i built cliply for myself, posted it on x, and hoped a few of you might find it useful too.
turns out, a lot of you did.
and that means the world.
but with all that love came a few growing pains:
→ the server's overwhelmed
→ infra costs are rising fast
→ and yeah… i'm figuring it out as i go
i'm hosting this solo, on a tight budget — and the demand spiked hard.
so here's what's next:
→ i'm working on scaling the infra
→ cliply will be open-sourced soon
→ i've got a ton of ideas — editing, multi-platform support, whatnot
→ and if i can swing it, i'll keep it free — for as long as i can

this isn't a goodbye — just a small pause.
cliply will be back. smoother. better. with more love poured into it.
and goddamn, you'll love it.
i hope you stick around.
we're just getting started.
with love,
devansh
