View Stories Privately

Why did we build this? Honestly got tired of the existing Instagram story viewers. they're all cluttered with ads, require weird permissions, or just break randomly. i wanted to check stories occasionally without logging in or dealing with Instagram's algorithm pushing more content at me. seemed like a simple problem that deserved a clean solution. What's new and unique about your launch compared to alternatives? Zero ads and zero tracking - which sounds basic but isn't common in this space. most competitors make money by bombarding users with ads or collecting data. we kept it completely clean with just the core functionality. also focused heavily on mobile experience since that's where most people actually use this kind of tool. no account creation, no email signup, just paste a username and go. What are you most proud of in this launch? The fact that it just works reliably. sounds simple but Instagram changes their API frequently and most tools break constantly. we built it to handle those changes gracefully. also proud that we've kept it completely free while maintaining good performance - our server costs are minimal thanks to efficient caching, so we don't need to monetize aggressively like others do. The user feedback has been amazing too. people genuinely appreciate having a tool that doesn't try to upsell them or track their behavior. sometimes the best product is just the one that does what it says without any extra nonsense.
