Ask HN: Third Party Instagram Clients
I've been trying to be more active on Instagram to stay in touch with friends who live far away, but I find the app unbearable. Stories are kind of okay, but keeping up with their algorithmic feed is awful.
Does anyone know about current attempts to create third-party clients? I'm okay with using a client that's unfinished, requires frequent reauthorization, or has some other flakiness because it needs to reverse engineer the Android app's API or scrape data from the website. I just want a way to see a chronological feed of posts from the people I follow. Any leads, lessons from past attempts, or suggestions on where to scrape the data from if I decide to give this a shot myself?
