Thank you for your interest in InstaGrabber!
Our vision of InstaGrabber is an open source true alternative of the official Instagram app. It is Austin's pursuit of a libre life that lead him to this app during its abandonment, and it was one unresolved bug that made him have the enthusiasm in implementing numerous features for this app, despite having 0 knowledge of Java beforehand.

### I can code Java!

Check errors are for reference only. Try to minimize them, but usually they don't make a big difference.
**NEVER touch the l10n-master branch.** It's automatically managed by Crowdin.
### I can't code Java, but I want to!
Fun fact: Austin took over this project and learned Java on the fly (I'm not joking, I only do JavaScript before taking this over).
Even though Java is quite annoying, it is still possible to learn it by trying to understand what these code do (Easier if you have coding experience in other languages).
