I use to tell my friends there should be an app to help you configure hashtags. I struggle to find hashtags every day and the ones I do know of are probably overused and crowded, this has been an ongoing problem since the inception of Instagram and I'm sure I'm not the only one experiencing it.

Over the time hashtag apps have shown up, my favorite thus far has been #TagsForLikes. It's simple and it gets the job done, but it's not as intricate as I need it to be. Let's say I take street photographs, in TagsForLikes I have a set of tags already customized to fit this situation, but it's the same tags over and over again. This doesn't help me if I visit a new city or go out of state, it's a preset, but it doesn't offer any real customization.

Finally, there's a website that is stepping up to make this happen, it's called dehaze. Now mind you, I said a website, not an app. The company is currently in the works of making an android and iPhone app, but as of now, their mobile friendly website is beyond simple.

What I like most is how I can customize my hashtags. I can select B&W>Detroit and then a collection of hashtags appear. My favorite aspect is the various ways you can copy the hashtags, it allows you to format the tags like so;

The 5 spaced dots allow the hashtags to be hidden, thus viewers can't see them unless they hit the "view more" option. This allows for a more aesthetically pleasing page. This website is in its early stages, but I'm positive will see updates in the future. Social media is progressing and it's time we do the same. I know some people think hashtags are a cry for attention, but it's probably the best way to get yourself noticed on social media. If there are any other hashtag apps you know of then feel free to leave the suggestions in the comments.
