scrollr··on Show HN: The best organic Instagram growth tool on the Internet
I'm definitely not a regular poster but I do lurk haha Thought it would be worth a post.

Re: IG TOS - Hugely a Gray area. We don't use their API so you're safe as long as you're below Instagram's arbitrary limits (approx 2000 likes per day). We've been running 30+ accounts for over a year and never had a temp ban, let alone a full account suspension.

Love your idea about How it works - fwding it to our dev as we speak

Thanks for reaching out its much appreciated fellow kiwi :)

scrollr··on Show HN: The best organic Instagram growth tool on the Internet
Hey guys, over the past year I've built a mini Instagram empire and grown several accounts to over 500,000 followers, most of which I run web stores off. I do this for a living.

Over the past few months I've monetised the method I used to do this, enter Socialhype. The big difference between us and your typical Blackhat tools or Instagress is that we use Base accounts as Liking targets, not just hashtags. This means highly targeted, highly engaged users. Instagress users typically pickup more followers per day, but spammy nasty accounts. Socialhype is more focussed on finding you customers.

Check it out. Try Standard or Premium for a week for free with the code 'getsocial'

Invite only isn't something we'd thought of - that's an excellent idea! Taking user interaction to another level. Beautiful!

The quote is from a twitter user on our launch, really its not overly like reddit aside from the fact that users vote on content. That content is then ordered based on the score. You can view the front page by hot (score vs. time) best (score) or new (time). In the next few days we're launching a category feature that will allow users to select hashtags and fill in a scroll with content tagged with those hashtags, which is similar to how redditors subscribe to certain subs!

So the content is definitely user moderated, and there will be an aspect of sub-domains built in to the existing hashtag functionality.

hahaha we actually considered trademarking 'scrollher' as the porn subsidiary... seriously though porn is fine as long as it's appropriately tagged NSFW!

Thankyou! It was designed and developed by two 17 year olds straight out of school and they really appreciate the feedback.

Sorry about that, we're working on back-dating browsers as we speak! The site is very browser-intensive and we found locking it down to only the latest browsers was the fastest way to get a product to market. It will be completely compatible by the time we launch

We're in beta at the moment, and are in need of a bunch of tech-savy beta testers to essentially break the site before we go any further.

Any help would be HUGELY appreciated and you even get a badge to say you were here when it all started.
