SCInsta takes a lot of time to develop, as the Instagram app is ever-changing and difficult to keep up with. Additionally, I'm still a student which doesn't leave me much time to work on this tweak.
If you'd like to support my work, you can donate to my ko-fi page!
There's many other ways to support this project however, by simply sharing a link to this tweak with others who would like it!
Seeing people use this tweak is what keeps me motivated to keep working on it ❤️
- Huge thanks to @BandarHL for creating the original BHInstagram/BHInsta project, which SCInsta is based upon.
