I'd assume something sinister... There has to be a reason :)

Logical for MS to copy here. Airtable is such a powerful simple solution, I had people who had never worked with computers using it daily.

I've now built 2 companies on Airtable - thank you for building wonderful software! Right there next to Figma for me.

I want to make an Instagram that will only ever have 42 followers ;)

Instagram has one of the least interesting APIs of all popular services, with basically just 2 GET endpoints or something. So if you do want to build this, you're gonna have to do a lot of reverse-engineering of the smartphone application. Probably a fun project on just it's own.

You could automate something in their m.instagram.com site with selenium :)

Guessing they are redirecting to instagram.com based on user-agent or something, because I end up on the lame read-only desktop website. Does m.instagram.com allow you to post content and everything the mobile app allows you to do?

Sorry for the late answer. I can post content from m.instagram.com if I change the user-agent as you mention, but this is quite easy to do with the browser default dev-tools, just press F12 and change the device to any mobile. I think the only thing it does not work is the stories.

Hi, Tony here, Flower Co W19

I'm really keen on what you're working on. It's fantastic. I am a big believer in what you're doing.

I have some marketing ideas for you. I work in cannabis so I face all these same challenges of closed tech platforms.

Email is in profile, let's talk

Thanks Tony, your support means a lot. I will email you to continue this conversation. Looking forward to hearing more.

If any journalists are writing about this in a serious capacity, contact me. I will trade info :)

FLOWER CO. (YC W19) | 1st Product Designer | FT in Los Angeles | https://flowercompany.com

FLOWER CO. is a wholesale cannabis membership club that saves consumers 40% on their favorite products and brands. We are hiring our first Product Designer!

The California cannabis market is $10 billion dollars of which $8 billion is still illicit. With taxes as high as 40%+ in cities like Los Angeles, consumers have little reason to participate in the regulated market. We seek to change this. Thanks to our membership program, scheduled delivery model (not on-demand), and our access to Humboldt County supply, we beat the illicit market on price.

Apply here: https://angel.co/flower-company

PS: Veterans and YC founders both get free lifetime memberships ($119/year normally!).

Seem to be still pushing some small UX features but that's all I know

unfortunately, this. Oh you will be missed, especially by the kids! :(

We're big fans of Nabis here at Flower Co, my cofounders Ted and Scott were also their first customers at Humboldt Legends.

Congratulations ^.^

Thanks Tony! We’re also huge fans of Flower Co at Nabis :)

Thanks for the support! The love goes both ways.
