Hello Gerwld, got to know about this amazing project . I want to work on this issue . So, can you give this issue to me also, please tell me the installation and setup projects.(Note- already followed the ones in src/HOW_TO_FOR_MOD but my browser load unpack doesn't seem to get the backgroud.js file and no public folder is being build).

I've discovered this issue too. However, I've found out, it seems to be independent from the extension. When I completely disable IGPlus and then directly open the "following" page of Instagram, the stories are not loaded neither. The same happens when I open the start page of Instagram and immediately (before the stories are loaded on the main page) press the link for the "following" page of Instagram.

I am using Firefox on Android. With Firefox on Linux the issue doesn't occur so far.

Hello gerwld, I am using brave in windows and yes the same issues are there in windows too. Would you like me to work on it?

Hello @devacius! You should have gulp installed, also it does not work in browsers without being built. If you're trying to work with it in dev mode, then build it first using the gulp dev script. This should create the public/chromium directory, and you have to select it in your browser (not the root directory). If it's not, give me some further information to help you with it.

@jc97 yes, I can assume it's a good observation. It seems like Instagram provides the stories section on the /?variant=following path screen only if data for stories was fetched before on the main page.

Like, it makes common sense if it uses a scenario where the link for /?variant=following is only provided on the main page, so the user will fetch it anyway. But it is not as good for those trying to navigate it straightforwardly as IGPlus does. But I believe there is 100% some way to fix it.

[jc97]

Probably, an easy way to fix it, is navigating to the main page first and then automatically redirect to the "following" page.

Are there any news on this issue?

I just tried the current version once again and the problem seems to be fixed!
