Personal Reflections on Instagram Usage and Alternatives

Explore a personal narrative on Instagram, discussing social connection, addiction, and alternatives like chess and go.

Shipped January 2026

This repository contains a personal reflection on the use and impact of Instagram. It is not a software project but rather a documented introspection on social media usage, addiction, and alternative activities.

Features

  • Personal narrative on Instagram usage
  • Discussion of social connection and addiction
  • Exploration of alternatives like chess and go

Tech Stack

  • Markdown for documentation
  • Static content (index.md)

Getting Started

Since this repository contains a markdown file with reflections, no installation or runtime environment is necessary. You can view the content directly on GitHub or clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/justin-napolitano/instagram.git
cd instagram
# Open index.md with any markdown viewer or text editor

Project Structure

instagram/
└── index.md    # Main reflection document

Future Work / Roadmap

  • Expand reflections with additional posts or topics
  • Convert reflections into a blog or website format
  • Add analysis or data on social media usage patterns
  • Explore technical tools to monitor or limit social media use

Note

This repository is a personal journal-style reflection rather than a software application. Adjust expectations accordingly.
