Social Prospector IG v0.0.65

💬 New: draft comments for your Dream 100, and approve each one before it posts

  • Tick people in Dream 100 and press Draft comments. The app opens each person's newest post, skips pinned ones, and writes a suggested comment for you to look at.
  • Building the queue publishes nothing at all. Nothing reaches Instagram until you press Approve and post on a specific draft, and a confirm box shows you the exact words first.
  • You can edit a draft before approving it, skip one, or clear the queue.
  • It posts one at a time and will not start a second while one is still going, so a slow response cannot turn into two comments.
  • If Instagram accepts a comment but the app never hears back, it counts that against your daily limit rather than risking a duplicate.

📋 New: Dream 100 lists have names, and a person can be on more than one

  • The old single text label has been replaced with proper named lists, so the same person can sit in several without you keeping a second copy of them.
  • Deleting a list removes the list only. The people in it stay in your Dream 100.
  • Your existing label is carried over automatically and left in place, so nothing needs redoing.

🔢 Fixed: follower scrapes stopped short and reported far fewer people than you asked for

  • Asking for a number of followers walked only half as far through Instagram as it was supposed to. The app asks Instagram for 50 profiles a page, Instagram quietly sends about 25, and the limit was still being worked out as though 50 had arrived.
  • The practical effect: asking for 200 people searched 300 profiles instead of 600, so once duplicates and blank-photo accounts were filtered out, the scrape ran out of room and stopped early with far less than you asked for.
  • Round numbers were the worst hit, which is exactly what most people type. A scrape now has the headroom it was always meant to have.

🔧 Fixed: Instagram changed on 4 September and broke scraping followers by handle

  • Instagram started refusing one of the lookups the app relies on, for everyone, and started returning a sign-in page instead of data on another. Scraping by handle stopped working.
  • The app now takes a different route that needs no lookup at all, and no longer gives up when Instagram is only asking it to slow down.
  • One knock-on effect is also repaired: a contact that Instagram had merely rate limited could be set aside as unreachable for thirty days. Being asked to slow down no longer counts against a contact that way.

🏷️ Changed: the Broadcaster Tool is now the Audience Builder Tool

  • The old name described the wrong job. That screen does not send anything, it builds the list of people you want to reach. The Mass Messenger is what sends.
  • What it produces is now called an Audience rather than a Broadcast List, throughout the app.
  • Your existing lists are untouched and nothing needs re-creating. This is a wording change only.

📋 Also in this release

  • Right-click to paste now works everywhere in the app. Instagram aside, Electron apps ship without a right-click menu by default, so pasting a message or a handle meant using the keyboard.
  • The small Facebook icon in the bottom corner now lines up with the ones beside it.
