Could you build this?

Partial The viewer UI is trivial, but reliably fetching Instagram Stories depends on scraping a platform that actively blocks it, so the feature is fragile and needs ongoing maintenance.

What it would actually take: The front end is a simple search and download page. The real work is a backend that fetches story media, likely through headless browsers or private endpoints, with proxy rotation, caching, and constant repair as Instagram changes. Legal and platform-policy risk also needs to be managed.
