@aaronoleary I'm hopeful. I'll send them your comment. They said it didn't have enough features...
Aaron O'Leary
@jason_thorarinsson There is literally apps on the app store with no features and a big price tag, its just an image that says "im rich"....

@aaronoleary Apple have let us on!

I've always done this by copying and pasting the characters inside of the brackets into my post: [⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀] Your tool looks like a much less annoying way to do it. Nice work!

@kraftykyle I didn’t know you could do that! Thanks for sharing. That might really help people on desktop who are posting to IG through tools.

Hey @jason_thorarinsson 👋 I guess this adds a linebreak with one of the special unicode whitespaces other than the default spacebar one? Could you tell us which Unicode character works?

@yaserahmady Do you work at Instagram? Are you trying to shut us down already?! I was going to say we use AI to add the line breaks to make it sound sexier, but the Unicode char is just u2063.

@jason_thorarinsson lol no I don't! We write our Instagram captions in advance and on PC and then copy paste it on our phones via AirDrop so having the invisible comma on PC will come handy, thank you!

@yaserahmady Instagram told you to say that, right? But seriously, no problem! It's very annoying and this is a really simple way to do it. Enjoy.

@jason_thorarinsson I do hope you get approved for the iOS app soon - perhaps you can message us here to let us know when it is available - in the mean time I have added you to my curations

@krishnade thank you! Still no budging for now so we might add some more features to see if they’ll allow it, but we will let people here know first!

Hey, thanks for checking out instaspacer! We decided to build this product in just 1 day to learn more about Flutter and solve a really annoying problem which plagues our time on Instagram. We're hoping to bring instaspacer to Apple soon (if they stop rejecting it!). The app is really simple, but we hope it brings some value to you and helps you make your Instagram captions look more beautiful!

Are you in iOS @merrillhefdy? Apple say we need more features! I've told them we're not changing the World, but if we could just put some whitespace back in to Instagram people might smile a little more tonight.
Merrill Reisemberg
@jason_thorarinsson Yep on iOS And you're damn right about your product, I hope they will change their mind!

@merrillhefdy I think they will when they see the 'shade' coming from this Product Hunt page.

@merrillhefdy we made it to iOS!
Merrill Reisemberg
@jason_thorarinsson thanks man, I just downloaded it! It's dope

What's different about this and something like https://write.applight.io already in the app store? Not sure why Apple would reject yours and let that one through! Argh

@foggstweets they do have a delete button...is that a feature?
Rafael L. Pereira
iOS user here. What I’ve always done is to write the captions in the Notes app, the copy and paste on Instagram. It’s the only I knew till today.

Last week I spend almost 2 hours trying to fix one caption. Thank you so much for this guys, works perfectly on the Android, I absolutely love it.

@shreehari_aravind thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and it does solve a super frustrating problem. Our goal was to build this in just 1 day and release it so we’re glad you got value from it!
