Instagram has become my favourite platform. Every time I log into Facebook all I see is a wall of poor quality shared posts ranging from random truck videos to fake news.

The relative quiet on Instagram, knowing I'm going to be getting only photos is serene.

Same. I use Facebook for nothing but messaging now, and have every other feature blocked with my adblocker.

Full Disclosure: I'm the developer of statimgram.com

I believe Instagram will continue to keep growing, and I wanted to help advertisers and users to have more tools to engage and reach their followers.

Now with statimgram, you can schedule and post from the browser not only regular posts, but also directly into IG stories.

We are launching next week, and I'm opening the API to developers as well, if you want early access please message me.

Does this violate their terms of service? I've heard they do not want desktop uploading or any form of uploading media through the API. I can't seem to find an API reference for uploading on api.instagram.com

One major win for Instagram (Besides the just-pictures you mentioned) is that following isn't a mutual thing, so there's no social pressure to be 'friends' with someone even though you're not interested in the content they generate.

Their terms of service also prohibit apps from using "gram" in the name.
