They do have a web version now, but if you try to log in you get hit with an 'install the app to continue" wall.

Nice try, Zuck.

Turns out they updated it so now there is one.

threads has had a webapp with pretty much feature parity to the mobile app for about a month now.

instagram has also had a webapp with pretty much feature parity to the mobile app for many years, so saying they don't really have a website is pretty weird.

Oh hey I guess they do. I was mislead by a search for threads only bringing up the app, and threads.com not being it. it's http://threads.net, and lets me write posts. Man, Facebook really needs to up their SEO game.

Instagram's website is fairly good and just about fully featured isn't it?

If watching a reel in a 3" box on a 27" monitor is fully featured, then ya sure.

Not at all. It might as well be written in 1999 with tables. They could make the web version use big monitors to show beautiful photos in a responsive way, but they cannot be bothered.

They know who their customers are and their customers do not have time for computers.

They do actually have a desktop client/website now.
