Hey HN, We are James and Jet, two high school / college students
We’re tired of all the brainrot on social media, so we built Instagram CLI – a lightweight terminal client for Instagram which filters out distractive content and allows you to focus on genuine conversations with friends.
Features:
– Full DMs support: receive and send messages, reply, react, chat navigation, etc.
– View feed from people you’re following and your notifications
– Full keyboard control with developer-friendly shortcuts
– In-terminal image rendering
– Highly performant, faster than Instagram’s GUI; uses its native MQTT protocol for real time message updates
We aim to give back control of social media to the user instead of accepting whatever content the platform wants us to see, while preserving its core function as a social networking tool.
Try it out:

We just finished a complete project migration from a curses-based UI to React/Ink and modernized the UI
Would really appreciate feedback from the community 🙂
Thanks for reading!
