Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.
Build an iPhone app for people who want to share everyday photos and follow friends. The main screen should show a scrolling photo feed with profile pictures, usernames, captions, like buttons and comments. Tapping a username opens a profile with a photo grid and a follow button. Let me switch between all sample posts and posts from people I follow. Tapping like should update its state, and tapping comments should let me read and add a sample comment. Add a compose button to choose a photo and write a caption. Use a clean white layout, dark text and warm coral accents. Include realistic sample profiles, photos and conversations. Keep this first version on sample data with no live accounts or video uploads.

Vibecode builds a first version from one prompt, and the checker would start with these parts: a sample photo feed with like and comment controls; profiles with a follow button that filters the feed; a photo-post composer with a caption. Plan on a weekend for a working first version with its real features.
Vibecode's first build is free for new accounts that sign up with Google or Apple on the web or the iPhone app, as the account's first project: one build of about 10 minutes with up to 3 features, on sample data. After that you need credits, from a paid plan or auto-reload. For your own version of Instagram, the checker lists these costs: Vibecode Plus ($20 a month); Apple Developer Program ($99 a year); API key for Mux (that service's pricing).
Instagram already has the friends, creators and audiences people want to follow, along with their shared history of posts and interactions. A version you build yourself won't have these: friends and creators already there; established followers and audiences; years of shared Instagram posts; licensed music library.
