Could you build this?
Partial A simple viewer UI is easy to vibe-code, but reliably fetching Instagram story media depends on undocumented endpoints and anti-bot measures that break often.
What it would actually take: The front end is a basic lookup page with rate limiting, backed by a server that requests public profile and story data. The hard part is the scraping layer: Instagram's private endpoints, rotating residential proxies, session handling and frequent changes to defenses. Maintaining it requires ongoing reverse engineering and infrastructure, and it carries legal and platform-policy risk.
