Stack Reco for No-Code Video Insta Project? 1 Million Oms

OK so I want to build a simple site (not app) but I've gone down a rabbithole and now I am completely lost and over-thinking! Would LOVE a stack reco for the following simple site:

Basically I'd love to create a movement where folks can video themselves chanting OM (a la yoga) in their own way, and post it to Instagram with a unique hashtag (let's say #1millionoms). Then, those Insta videos with that hashtag get up loaded to my site automatically into a grid. On the site, a visitor can click a button and hear the most recent X videos (which are loaded on the site) play in unison. A moment of zen in these trying disconnected times.

So what I'd need is:

  1. An ideal platform (Wordpress? Squarespace? Bubble? Webflow? Oh my...).
  2. That allows/hosts a plugin that imports Insta videos by hashtag.
  3. And allows for a bit of custom coding (sorry no-code) to allow the visitor to press a button then hear all X videos in unison.

Thanks for any ideas folks! To be clear I am looking to spread a little joy for free to folks, and also have a project and learn some new tools during shutdown.

    Hey Trey,

    My site (kleu.io) has a video upload function. So I know the headache.

    I built it on Bubble and used Transloadit to encode the videos. This again was a bit of a faff. This will enable you to have the users take the videos and store them to your server.

    However, It can be done and the transloadit customer support is ace!

    Youll then needs a way to upload them to Instagram, check out the bubble plugin store. I reckon there will be one there.

    If you need any help just shout.
