💡 Inspiration

In the ever-changing age of social media, I want to master organic growth and engagement facilitated by programming.

During my time as a Python developer, I tinkered with automation and found a library I loved: InstaPy. InstaPy is a highly customizable tool that automates your Instagram accounts and generates organic engagement. It's a useful tool to grow your social media following, but as of now, it's only accessible to people that know Python.

Instaccounts came out of my personal need to manage multiple accounts and grow them with the help of InstaPy. I also sought to replicate Instagram's UI to maintain familiarity, speed up development, and practice conventional industry standards.
