This tool was inspired by GOCOMO and I wanted to create a mobile influencer scouting application as a part of my thesis. This is relatively new on the market, therefore has a lot of potential to become an essential tool for smart and successful marketers.
The goal of the application is to automate the difficult and time-consuming influencer-scouting processes by allowing the user to discover and fetch profiles by a given hashtag and filter by profile follower count.
This is a powerful tool to easily identify and access profiles of instagram celebrities and makes it easy to identify a cluster of profiles that can be used to brand a client's product.
This is an iOS application build using React-Native. As well, several libraries were used in the creation of this tool:
- Redux
- React-Navigation
- Firebase database
- XCode
To gain access to user profiles and fetch instagram information I used the Instagram GraphQL interface.
To install this tool on your device and run it, you must:
- clone the respository to your desired location
have the following technologies:
- Homebrew
- Node >= 8.3
- Watchman
- CocoaPods & XCode >= 9.4 / Expo Client
Once the environment has been set up, the application can be built either using expo command line client or using XCode (command line - react-native run-ios)
As this project had a time limit and was an indivirual piece of work, there are many things I would do differently if I were to do it again. But this is something to take into the interview ;)
