24 alternatives to Insta2000 – Re-render Instagram locally, retro, and ad free
I've been avoiding instagram for a few years, as it feels very noisy and addictive. I'm starting to feel out of touch from friends though, so got wondering if I could build a tool to get just my friends updates, without all the other junk. It turns out scraping my own profile and re-rendering a static webpage is quite a successful way to achieve that goal. It has no ads, no discovery injections, no trackers, no infinite scroll, no notifications. It does include stories and posts alongside each other. It does sort things based on recent updates. In the end, it proved better than I expected…

I wanted to find a way to use Instagram without ending up scrolling for two hours every time I open the app to see a friend's story. Most screen time apps I found focus on blocking the app itself instead of the addictive feed, so I created this app to allow me to keep using the "healthy" and "social" features and block the infinite scrolling (Reels) After implementing the block on Instagram Reels, I got addicted to YouTube Shorts and Reddit feed. So, I extended the app to cover these as well. To avoid replacing the scrolling for regular feeds, I also added a feature that shows a pop-up when…

I kept deleting and redownloading Instagram because I couldn't stop watching Reels but needed the app for DMs. Tried screen time limits, just overrode them. So I built this. Dull loads Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and X and filters out short-form content with a mix of CSS and JS injection. MutationObserver handles anything that lazy-loads after the page renders, which is most of the annoying stuff since these platforms love to load content dynamically. The ongoing work is maintaining the filters. Platforms change their DOM all the time, Instagram obfuscates class names, YouTube restructures…

We just launched the first version of Pidgeon. It’s meant to be a sort of “reddit for photos”, and we’re trying to fix a lot of the problems instagram has. Quite a lot of people these days hate instagram for one reason or another. Maybe you hate the amount of ads it has. Maybe you hate the algorithm. Maybe you hate the shop section that no one ever uses. Maybe you hate the data collection, or reels, or that it just seems like a giant popularity contest. We want to address all of the above. Organic outreach The feed is organized chronologically. Here you will only see your own posts and the…

Over the years, through my experience in the internet and tech space, I’ve seen how personal branding has evolved. What was once mainly a focus for companies is now a crucial element for individuals, whether you're aiming for your dream job, building an audience, or growing a business. That’s why I created PreviewMyProfile.com. Preview your profile, bio, cover photo, and feed for Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, X, and beyond, all in one place. No more jumping between multiple sites, checking desktop and mobile versions separately, or worrying about consistency. Would love to hear your…

snowscroll▲21Hey all, I'm Jun. I've always struggled with my doomscrolling habit, and so I spent the last few months building an app to remove short-form, addicting content from all major social media platforms (Instagram, YouTube, X, Facebook, Linkedin, TikTok). The app has the option to further customize (removing home feeds, stories, other subtabs, etc). Launch Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7ablpEFt74

Hey HN, I just launched Bulktopus, a free tool that helps creators, marketers, and founders generate all their social media and ad visuals from a single design. You set your content, pick the formats (Instagram, LinkedIn, Stories, Facebook Ads, YouTube thumbnails, etc.), and it exports everything — pre-sized, pre-named, and zipped in one folder. You can also fine-tune individual formats if needed. The goal: stop wasting time resizing the same thing 10 times. It's 100% free to use, no sign-up required. Would love your feedback: https://www.bulktopus.com Thanks! Fernando
