Could you build this?
Partial Building the UI and diffing logic is trivial, but reliable Instagram scraping without user login credentials requires sophisticated proxy management and anti-bot evasion.
What it would actually take: The mobile app (React Native/Flutter) is straightforward, but the backend must scrape Instagram profile followers without triggering rate limits, captchas, or IP bans. This requires rotating residential proxy pools, reverse-engineering Instagram's internal web/mobile GraphQL endpoints, and session management infrastructure to handle frequent anti-scraping updates.
