It's been a while, but a new version of my Mootools-based Instagram browser, Moosaik, is now available. Following are a list of enhancements included with this version:

• Updated image pre-loading code. Added a little more speed.
• Tweaked logo and header layout.
• Added "My Feed" menu option to load the latest images of the users you're following.
• Added pseudo-paging to "My Feed" and "My Images". Click on "MORE" to load the next image set.

I've just uploaded a new version of Moosaik, my Mootools-based Instagram browser. I would like to thank all the people who provided me their valuable feedback. There are some bugfixes and enhancements included with this version, some of which are described below:

• Updated Instagram requests to reflect recent API changes.
• Updated access token handling. Not working properly on Explorer and Safari.
• Updated image date handling. Fixed an ugly Javascript date parsing error.
• Added user profile image thumbnail to Popular mosaic tiles. Now it's possible to access user images directly by clicking on it.
• Added current user profile image thumbnail to search bar.

I've also created a static page for the project to publish all the relevant information about it.

Now, my development efforts will focus on adding shortcuts to followed users and simple mosaic paging. If you have any free time to spare and an Instagram account, maybe you'll want to try this new version and send me your comments.

I've been pretty busy lately but over the last few weeks I've been learning about how to make Mootools and Instagram API play nice together. The result of this work is Moosaik, a small client application to browse Instagram public image streams.

After login with your Instagram account, the browser shows you the current most popular Instagram images in a mosaic layout with 32 tiles. Each image can be zoomed using a Mootools-based lightbox. From there, you can click on the username link to browse the latest images from user's public stream. Alternatively, you can browse for a specific user using the search box.

In future versions, I would like to add new features like image stream paging, multiple search result box or user image stream loading from URL. Feel free to try it and send me your comments.
