Could we also add Instagram to the source of images? Great app btw

Are you looking for a feed of public photos from Instagram or photos from the user's account?

SonQBChau commented 7 years ago

It would be great if the app can pull photos from user's account. However, if getting auth from Instagram is too much trouble, pulling images from hashtag(s) is also a good option. I think users want to control what being showed 👍

I looked at the API and it requires user authentication for any requests. That is bad news, as it is surprisingly difficult to authenticate with OAuth2.0 and store the token securely from an extension. That has been holding me back from adding other user sources (e.g. flickr).

oohs that's sucks. I was hoping it didn't require any auth
