Show HN: A wiki to see useful info on Instagram posts
2 points| bestwillcui | 1 year ago |instagram-wiki.com
It feels like Instagram is two things in one: stuff from friends and content from celebrities/news. Also the comment sections suck and it’s hard to get any useful context from the latter.
Like “is this steph curry video even real” and “what is this glove on kendrick’s diss track post”.
My friend and I made a site to help with this. It’s like Genius (crowdsourced song lyric annotations) or wikipedia (as the name suggests) for instagram posts.
The basic idea is, you can add -wiki to any Instagram post (www.instagram.com/p/blah to www.instagram-wiki.com/p/blah) and see useful information about the post.
Feel free to check it out, add some wiki content, and let me know what you think! Like would you actually use this, and what features would help?
We’re still really early on so there’s a bunch more to add (small issue rn where you need www in the url, would be way more convenient to have a mobile app as well, etc), but very open to any suggestions to make the instagram experience better!
