Could you build this?
Partial The viewer UI is trivial, but Instagram does not offer a public API for stories, so retrieving them depends on scraping or fragile unofficial endpoints. That data access is unreliable and conflicts with Instagram's terms.
What it would actually take: The front end is a simple lookup-and-gallery app. The real obstacle is obtaining story media: this needs a reliable, legally defensible data source, or a user-authorized flow, plus handling of rate limits, login walls, and frequent platform changes. Building it durably requires access to a licensed data provider or Meta's official APIs, which are heavily restricted.
