[Request] Instagram Follower Counter

Post by 3589145 »

I search for it but seems there's none.
It would be great if there's a real-time follower counter desktop widget for social media accounts.
So is there anyone who considering to do this in near future guys? :oops:

I'm not sure it can be done. A such skin would require login, but the WebParser measures can't deal with this.
So, I'd say it's not possible (at least this is what I think).

Yeah, why not. Just like the email checkers. It only check for new followers after we put the login info.

The problem is that for a such action the website should have to support HTTP authentication. Gmail for example does support it, but at least as far as I know, the social media networks don't. That's why a Gmail follower skin can be easily created, but it's practically impossible to create one for any social media network.
Or maybe am I wrong and someone does have a better idea?
