Yesterday’s post regarding the Instagram facelift brought us both positive and negative feedback. We would like to explain what our intention was.

At Tapmates, we use Instagram every day. Our employees are all over the world, so it’s an awesome way to see what their homes look like. The more we used it, the more we thought about how the interface wasn’t at it’s full potential (from our point of view). Saying something is one step, doing it is the next, so after a couple days, we had our facelift. We loved it, but were curious to see what others thought. To be honest, we didn’t expect this much feedback, but are happy you like our work!

As mentioned, the goal was just to show what we think Instagram should look like. We’re not saying ours is the best, or even good, but it’s what we think it should be. If people continue to redesign Instagram and provide feedback, hopefully the founders will take action.

If the Instagram team want’s to use something from our facelift, we would love to give it to them for…

FREE.
