Archiving Instagram posts

I spent a little time this weekend reminding myself of what writing code is like (before I start work again on Tuesday, after 4 months travelling). After my recent post on leaving Meta's social networks I decided to create a script to convert the GDPR-provided archive of all my activity on Instagram into this blog. You can find it at from-instagram — ~~I'll figure out a good place to leave a permanent link soon!~~[^1]. {{< figure src="instgram-posts.webp" title="A screenshot of the new archival page on this blog; tiled photos from my instagram feed." >}} If this incredibly specific challenge is something you also face, you can find the (slap-dash) code I wrote in the repo that contains this blog. [^1]: I switched to treating Instagram photos as a part of my photos stream, but left the from-instagram tags on there, in case you want to find those specifically.
