Ask HN: Viral loop of apps using Instagram API

by v_ignatyev on 1/10/15, 12:03 AM with 3 comments

I'm building the app for casual "mass" users, which will use Instagram API to post users' content. I see "tag spamming" and support of @ tag of the profile as part of the viral loop of engagement/activation model of users.

Are there exist any stories containing success/fail result of such growth hacking approach with sample metrics attained?

Thanks, HN!

    You can't use the Instagram API to post user content.
