Shipped: Native Instagram & TikTok sharing — without a new App Store build

by Tugay Pala

Small but meaningful milestone for ImagineIf today.
Users can now share their AI-generated story cards directly to Instagram Stories, Instagram Feed, and TikTok — all from inside the app, one tap.
What I built:

Backend card generator (Pillow) — 1080×1350, AI image + title + stats + owner avatar
iOS native module for Instagram (already in a previous build, just wired up JS side)
TikTok: gallery save + tiktok:// URL scheme
Shipped via Expo OTA — zero App Store review wait

Why it matters: Shareability is the main growth lever for a UGC storytelling app. Making it one tap instead of "screenshot → crop → open app → upload" removes the biggest friction point.
Still early (99 users), but the foundation is there. Next up: see if shared cards actually drive installs.
