GLYMPSES, your Instagram feed on any website
From idea to paid platform
The challenge
For many entrepreneurs and creators, Instagram is where their work lives, while their website stays static. Copying posts over by hand costs time every week, and many existing widgets break the moment Instagram changes something, slow the site down, or come stuffed with tracking. We felt this deserved better.
Our solution
GLYMPSES: you connect your Instagram account through Meta's official API, choose which posts to show with filters or by hand, set the layout and style, and paste a single line of code on your website. From then on your feed stays current on its own: new posts appear on your site within fifteen minutes. Connecting is free, activating costs €5 per month per account, with the first 14 days free.
The technology behind it
GLYMPSES is built with Laravel and Livewire and uses the official Instagram API with automatic token refresh. The embed is a self-contained one-line script that adapts to any website's style, loads images straight from Instagram, and is deliberately free of cookies, trackers, and external fonts. For WordPress we built a dedicated plugin with one-click connect, a Gutenberg block, and a shortcode. Trial period, subscriptions, invoicing, and direct debit are fully automated.
The result
A complete platform running live at glympses.nl: sign up, connect, compose an embed, and publish within minutes, in a distinctive design with two themes. The Instagram integration passed Meta's official App Review, and a public help center answers the most common questions before someone even becomes a customer.
Why this project stands out
