Write my app for Etsy users to easily tag items on Instagram
Kirbyoh Code and Eng DK30 Fall 2019 0 0
Description
I haven’t been super active on the channel and missed that there was a DK30! So here is the project I have completely coincidentally been working on for the last month. I checked with some other Etsy sellers and no one has set up an application to put Etsy listings into Facebook Catalog compatible format, which then allows you to tag your products on Instagram. I wrote a Python script months ago when I couldn’t find an app, but after discussing with other sellers, I wanted to take the extra time to put it up into the internet so other people can use it. I decided I would set it up using Heroku and have been working on it for about a month.

Wait I never posted that it was done! check it at https://beagle-integration.herokuapp.com/
Things never go how you planned. I am starting the process of putting the app up on Heroku
After a long fight with AWS over the weekend, the local app now does all its serving through S3 and everything is neat. I’m just going to set up Paypal donations then get it up on Heroku, hopefully tonight.
