RetroInsta aims to replicate Instagram's initial feature set. Users can log in with their Google Accounts, post a photo with a filter applied, like other user's posts, follow other accounts, see a feed of posts from accounts they follow, and see an explore page which features popular posts site-wide.
For individuals who want to share and view photos, RetroInsta is a social media application that focuses solely on pictures, providing a more personal and connected experience. Unlike other social media platforms that are cluttered with advertisements and can feel impersonal, our platform offers a simpler, ad-free experience centered around authentic photo sharing.
