I made a private frontend for Instagram reels (doesn't work for posts) so that I could share reels with my friends who don't have an instagram account and don't want to make one. It took me a while because I forgot yt-dlp had support for cookies so that I could let it use my auth cookie after I had logged in, so I was scratching my head trying to figure out how to make it work. and then I read the docs and figured out why.
Anyway, this is as much time as I’m willing to put into this. It’s a small app so that you can share Instagram reels with friends that don’t have an instagram account
