A nitter-like frontend for instagram

Kittygram is an Instagram frontend, like nitter and invideous.

A lot has changed since I first posted about it. Kittygram now has:

  • a developer API
  • atom feeds
  • ratelimit tracking
  • explore/popular pages
  • more themes

    I swear that most FOSS names are bad on purpose to keep people from using them.

      Some machanics paint their tools pink to keep them from being stolen because they are not „manly“.

      This sounds like something you would also complain about.

      Aside from a lot of the ones that are abbreviations (like GNU Image Manipulation Program, or GIMP), most of them are fine I think.

      Immich, it sounds like “image”, which makes sense for photo hosting. Inkscape is a landscape of ink, suitable for a vector graphics editor. “Chrono”, the clock app on Android, is named after the embodiment of time. Radicale, the CalDAV self-hosted service, is the word “radical” conjoined with “calendar”. KeePass is a password manager, a master key is used to unlock the vault. KDE likes to put “K” in front of a lot of their app names. KCalc, KGet, Konsole, KOrganizer, KAlarm, KWrite. Their functions are pretty self explanatory. Okular is a PDF reader by KDE, and the name is a play on the word “ocular”, used to describe vision, but with a “K”! MarkText lets you write text in Markdown format. LibreOffice is a free (as in freedom, or libre) open-source office suite. Writer, Impress, and Calc are related to documents, presentations, and spreadsheets. And then there are all the apps that are not unique and are simply what they are. Think “Offline Translator”, “OSS Document Scanner”, etc. (very common with a lot of Android apps I use)

      I would imagine Kittygram refers to the vast quantities of cat photos on Instagram.

        What’s wrong with kittygram? How’s that any weirder then say Pringles? Like what the heck is a “Pringle” anyway? A potato tingle?

        Coca-cola literally has the reference to Cocaine in it. In Spanish it’s even weirder because Coca is actually the slang word for Cocaine, so it basically says “Cocaine Tail”.

        And Facebook??? A face that’s a book???

        There’s plenty of extremely weird words you use or see daily. You’ve just been brainwashed to see them as normal because you’ve been marketed to about them since birth essentially.

        If you heard of kittygram since you were 7, and saw kittygram ads constantly growing up, you wouldn’t so much as blink about the name.
