I like this. I&#x27;m a big IGer and so is my wife. I was at the Giants game for Star Wars day with my kids Sunday so looking through all the #attpark &#x2F; #sfgiants hashtags is fun.<p>However, here&#x27;s one thing that annoys me with this and all &quot;endless scrolling&quot; web apps: when when I scroll down several pages, then click an image to see it bigger, when I go back I&#x27;m no longer at my &quot;page&quot;.

I&#x27;m pretty sure IG doesn&#x27;t like any names that have Insta or Gram in them. (That&#x27;s why Webstagram changed to Websta). Just a heads up before you develop your brand and then get kicked off their API.

Backend in node.js. We leverage the fact that we get huge amounts of bot traffic, by saving all entries they fetch from Instagram to build our database of popular tags and users.

Nice work, could user remove their photos (if they want)? Maybe you could provide some special hashtag like #noindex, just some thoughts...<p>keep going!

How is it SELF-scraping. Isn&#x27;t it THEM-scraping
