insta2blog.com's Issues

post caption: store new caption in the DB for performance

Go LIVE on facebook insta API app

add last_import_at:datetime to InstaUser (last sync with insta time)

landing page: add value proposition. include open source links

InstaAPI: download additional photos for carousels in InstaMediaService

stub insta API requests for tests

No video with supported format and MIME type found

if you encounter this error, it means that the URLs to the instagram-hosted videos are outdated. Refresh the records with the me/media API call.

users#show - refresh media_count for all associated users when opening page?

SEO for InstaPost: og-image, og-title etc

select dropdown to filter posts by %i[photo, video, carousel]

There are 3 types of insta_posts

In posts#index, except of searching for posts we should be able to filter by type.

By default, all 3 are selected (no scope).

form.select :media_type dropdown would work well.

The form that should be updated.

Ideally, should be implemend without a gem. However ransack/pg_search is acceptable.

ensure API requests are made with valid tokens (InstaMeService?), or first try to trigger a token refresh

when creating a long access token, delete all old tokens associated with user

add a pull request template

UI: add "video" favicon in grid view on relevant posts

add dynamic sitemaps and submit them to search engines

so that all posts are indexed

grid/list view on user/:id/posts

passwordless: email design. quality emails don't get sent to spam so often

paginated infinite scrolling on user/:id/posts

www vs non-www authentication

www.insta2blog.com and insta2blog.com work as 2 different website instances in terms of authentication: they login email always logs you in with insta2blog.com, the non-www version

CRON: Trigger refresh insta tokens ±1 week before expiration

auth via email link (gem passwordless)

Background jobs for processing Services.

option to delete account / disconnect instagram sync

add honeybadger

post caption: detect hashtags

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33242512/rails-4-how-to-identify-and-format-links-hashtags-and-mentions-in-model-attrib

use inline_svg or fontawesome for icons

schedule jobs to auto-refresh access tokens

add logo. responsive footer & navbar

I want it to somewhat resemble the instagram, because this is a spinoff project.
I like these logos:

post caption: detect mentions

style flash messages

The WSJ case.

On their insta, they have a link to on.wsj.com/instagram
It redirects to
https://linkin.bio/wsj

That is a copy of their instagram, but whenever you click a post it links to their website!

InstaPost: click to copy url (share fuctionality)

posts#show - under the post show "more posts from @user"

is this necessary?

def call
    insta_user_data = ask_user_profile
    insta_user = InstaUser.find_or_initialize_by(username: insta_user_data['username'])
    insta_user.update(
      remote_id: insta_user_data['id'],
      account_type: insta_user_data['account_type'].downcase,
      media_count: insta_user_data['media_count']
    )
    insta_user
  end

is the insta_user necessary? Wouldnt insta_user.update already return what you want?

btw love to follow this project, very cool see you hacking on it! learning a lot!

InstaMediaService - loop through all pages of posts to create them.
