Could you build this?

Partial The viewer UI is simple, but pulling public Snapchat stories depends on undocumented endpoints that change often and sit in a legal and ToS grey area. Keeping it working is an ongoing reverse-engineering job.

What it would actually take: The core is a backend that fetches story media via Snapchat's web or app endpoints, handles auth tokens and anti-bot measures, and caches or proxies the media files. A web frontend then serves the viewer and MP4 or JPG downloads. The hard part is maintaining the scraper as Snapchat changes its endpoints and blocks, which requires reverse-engineering skills, proxy infrastructure, and legal review.
