I was in bed reading a blog post by Dan James about what he learned from his Flickr statistics. Probably the main surprise for me was that my most used camera in 2021 was my Realme 6 Pro Android phone.

The developer’s note on their website says: “Service Note: Instagram has updated their protocol and currently plugin does not work. We are investigating the issue and the plugin will be updated when a fix is available.” Jeffrey Friedl is a software developer and photographer based in Japan.
