This package can send Instagram posts by email.

It provides classes that store posts retrieved from an Instagram user feed in a database table.

The package can also return posts stored in the database and send them to a given email address.

The package retrieves the destination email address of these messages from environment variables.

Some people avoid spending too much time on social networks when they consider those social networks a distraction that is not worth their time.

Still, those who want to follow specific profiles would prefer following those profiles if they did not have to go daily to the profile pages.

This package provides a solution that sends email messages only when new posts of specific Instagram profiles are published.
