Ambrine Douhane's projects

A few months ago, a friend suggested we stop using Instagram, and I thought it was a pretty good idea, so i changed my password to a random one, and deleted the app. I did cause I’m honestly kinda worried about all these dopamine hits we’re getting addicted to, and, I’ve talked to a lot of people who actually feel the same way.

At the same time, I realized I was missing out on a lot of fun stuff. For example, some of my favorite artists only share news on Instagram (and sometimes TikTok or Twitter), but I don’t use that shit either. I feel like Instagram is basically becoming the 21st-century newspaper.

So I needed to find a way to access people’s content without actually using social media.

So with my guy Claude, we built a tool that sends users a daily email with their followings’ latest posts (private accounts included) and nothing else: no ads, no bullshit, no reels, no endless scroll, no addiction, no 5-hour daily screen time.

Just heads up it uses an Instagram API that technically violates their Terms of Service, and users of IGPulse might get banned.

Please find a demo and the GitHub link below.

Hope you enjoy.
