Instagram Clone

(if you see the picture either squeezed or stretched, it's because dev.to did not implement it correctly for some browser widths. Bold text with **** does not work either, I hope dev.to will fix it.)

Meet Instapound - Instagram for those who don't know the metric system! What's a gram? How much is a gram?

If you keep asking yourself those questions, do not worry! We got you covered! No more grams, no more kilograms. At Instapound we convert grams to ounces, pounds to kilograms!

I've been working on an instagram clone for 4 weeks using:

  • GraphQL
  • Prisma for Postgres
  • React
  • Apollo-Express
  • styled-components

Implemented functionality:

  • Upload photos
  • Like a photo
  • Comment on a photo
  • Follow a user
  • Personal feed

Search functionality still needs to be implemented (easy to do).

I wanted to call it Instaounce, but the word is hard to read and InstaOunce didn't look good aesthetically. So, Instapound it is!

Are you tired of the same old Instagram? Meet Instapound, an Instagram clone for those who are more familiar with pounds than grams! While many social media users love the standard app, some are seeking a more customized experience – and that’s where modified apps like Honista APK come in.

Honista APK is a popular alternative for Instagram users who want more control and functionality in their app. It offers a variety of additional features such as downloading photos, videos, and stories, customizing themes, and adjusting privacy settings that the official Instagram app doesn’t provide. But at Instapound, we take the customization one step further – we change the way you think about weight!

Instapound is perfect for those who don’t use the metric system. What's a gram? How much is a gram? If these questions leave you scratching your head, we’ve got you covered! At Instapound, we automatically convert grams to ounces, kilograms to pounds, and vice versa, making the app a fun and unique twist on the Instagram experience.
