# FollowerSignal

FollowerSignal is a browser-based Instagram relationship tracker for public accounts.

## Live capability
- Shows accounts a public Instagram user follows that do not follow back.
- Shows mutual followers.
- Saves a device-local baseline that can reveal later unfollowers, new follows, and new mutuals after a later manual scan.
- Exports completed follower, following, mutual, and relationship lists as CSV.
- Generates topic-based Instagram hashtags in the browser without scraping.
- Runs a public-profile visibility diagnostic that clearly states it cannot prove an internal Instagram penalty.
- Previews up to 15 public comments from a post or Reel.
- Previews up to 12 current stories from a public profile.
- Shows recent public posts and visible engagement metrics.
- Opens downloadable public Instagram media when the provider returns it.
- Never asks for an Instagram password.
- Does not work with private follower lists.
