Sometimes, the best ideas come when you least expect them — like at 2 AM, scrolling through social media with nothing exciting to do. That’s exactly how IGram, my latest side project, came to life. No grand plans, no investors, no pressure — just a spark of curiosity and a desire to build something fun.
In this post, I’ll share the story of how IGram started, what it is, the challenges I faced, and what I learned along the way. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to build a messaging app from scratch or are just curious about side projects, this one’s for you.
_**A few days ago, stuck in an endless social media scroll loop, I suddenly thought, “Why not build my own messaging app?” Not to compete with the giants like Telegram or WhatsApp, and certainly not because I had a startup idea or funding. Simply because I wanted to see how far I could take it.
That spontaneous idea turned into IGram, a project born purely out of boredom and a hunger to learn.
What Is IGram?
