Launch: Get your best nine Instagram photos from each year
Hi Indie Hackers,
I've just launched https://bestnineig.com, the easiest way to get your top posts from Instagram for every year.
I built Best Nine IG to help people rediscover some of their best old photos.
In today's world, we post a lot online, especially Instagram, but most of our best memories are forever lost on some server. I thought it would be really cool to rediscover them in a super easy way.
The product wouldn't be complete unless I offered the ability to get your pictures printed. You can very easily get them delivered anywhere in the world for only $11. FREE Worldwide delivery.
The site has been live for a day so I very much look forward to your feedback and questions. It would be great to know what other features you would love.
Thanks,
Cezar
Hi cezarg,
Cool concept! Easy to understand and super fast to use. Nicely done.
The background tho turns out brownish, it's a personal opinion but I'm not a fan of brownish.
Maybe Luqa is right on the pricing but I'm not an expert. I'd maybe work a bit on the Call-to-Action to try to sell it a bit more make it more appealing.
What intrigues me tho is how are you able to get a user's photos with just the username. I'm looking into the IG api and IG graph API at the moment to also get a user's photos (but use them very differently). And it looks like this will not be possible anymore really soon unless you log in the user with FB Login. am I getting this right? or is it/will it be still possible to do like you are doing?
I am not on Instagram but the idea sounds solid to me. I suppose that for "best photos"you mean most liked. In this case, I see two problems: 1. most liked doesn't mean most important and people tend to stamp meaningful photos 2. I didn't stamp photos in a long time, but $11 for 9 10x10 cards seems expensive to me and they would additionally need to wait for the delivery. They could easily make them print by someone else. So I like the idea, but I think that you need to rethink the business model or just use this website as a lead magnet to your main one.
