Moosaik project.

 Last updated on: 2019/06/27 15:08.

Unfortunately, the application crash badly browsing some Instagram's API endpoints. I don't have time to adapt Moosaik to this rapidly evolving API, so I'm putting the application offline for the better. Here is the latest source code for anyone interested in snooping between lines of Mootools javascript code.

Moosaik is a Mootools-based application to browse Instagram public image streams. To use it, its's necessary to log in your Instagram account and authorize the application to retrieve the feeds in your name. No information is collected about the user or its related Instagram account.

Designed as a client application, it runs completely in a web browser. All the business logic is provided by the Instagram API. Latest versions of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari and Microsoft Internet Explorer are supported.

After login with your Instagram account, the browser shows you the current most popular Instagram images in a mosaic layout with 16 tiles. Each image can be zoomed using a lightbox. You can click on the user's profile thumbnail to browse the latest images from user's public stream. Alternatively, you can visit your own stream or browse for a specific user using the search box.
