I made this simple Instagram image downloader. Just copy image link of any Instagram image and save that in Full HD and size using right click. Still used by many for social media marketing as you can't save images from other's profile on Instagram, only way is to screenshot which obviously reduce the quality of the image.

I'm proud of many things :( * I converted a rotary phone into a cellphone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSkdWQswpc8 * I wrote a personal bookmark search engine: http://historio.us/ * A site that talks to spammers so you don't have to: https://spa.mnesty.com/ * A pastebin: http://pastery.net/ * A remote-controlled GSM irrigation controller for farmers: https://gitlab.com/stavros/irrigation-controller * A button tha…

Spamnesty is nothing short of amazing! :)

I hope you'll also distribute the code so hopefully anyone not necessary trusting your service to not harvest email addresses or resell them (or get hacked) would be able to deploy that on a custom server.

In any case, was very fun to read.

http://youtuberanktracker.com It's a simple tool to keep track of YouTube video rankings by a keyword. I found it difficult to find a simple service that didn't cost a significant amount of money.

Nice. Is there a way to see list of the keywords for which a video makes, say, the top 100 results?

I know I know ... Sorry

Don't worry, it's a nice problem to have. Having users around the globe is something you should be proud of. Congrats.

Well ... assuming traffic doesn't die post Hacker News fame ;)

I use Flipboard for my news and RSS feeds, but really hate how Flipboard forces every feed you add into separate "magazines." I like all of my news in one magazine, all my tech news in another, etc. Fed up with it, I whipped up a Django-based app that lets me create collections of feeds and then outputs them into single RSS feeds in a Flipboard-friendly format. I can add and remove feeds in a collection from a simple web interface and see the results in my Flipboard app. It's not one of my most amazing creations, but it scratches a really big annoying itch and works great.
