In plain words

Instagram-scraper is a developer tool that extracts photos from Instagram based on specific tags without requiring the official API. Launched in 2018, it allows developers to programmatically collect image data by tag searches. The tool is designed for developers and researchers who need Instagram photo data for analysis or integration into their own applications. It works by scraping publicly available information directly from Instagram rather than using authenticated API access.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
