While I’m not a heavy Instagram user, my girlfriend is. She loves photography and uses Instagram to publish her pictures. One day, she read a medium article by Tim Grossmann where he explains how he created a bot to automate the boring parts of Instagram: liking and following people that are related to what you do. If you haven’t read it, go ahead, it’s very well documented.

She asked me if I could write something similar, something she could use without even knowing how to write code, and I came up with go-instabot!
