App to view only photos of a specific person: SKIP, 35/100 | Ideas Lab

An app that aggregates photos of a single person from social media into one feed.

The pain

Users manually scroll through multiple social media platforms or search results to find all photos of someone they care about or are interested in.

The gap

No existing tool consolidates photos of one specific person across platforms into a single searchable feed.

Build angle

Start with a narrow use case like celebrity fan communities or family photo archiving, then expand to broader social media aggregation.

Strengths

Solves a real friction point, manually searching across platforms is tedious
Clear, simple feature set with no ambiguity about what the product does
Could work as a browser extension or mobile app with low technical complexity

Risks

Heavy legal exposure: scraping social media violates most platform ToS; facial recognition raises privacy and consent issues
Tiny addressable market: most people don't need this frequently enough to adopt a new app
Platform dependency: Instagram, TikTok, and others actively block third-party aggregators and could shut you down immediately
Privacy backlash: an app that tracks and centralizes photos of specific people will face user trust and regulatory scrutiny
No clear monetization path without charging users directly, which limits scale

Fly Labs Method

Is the pain real, is there a gap, is it the right time, can one person build it.

No easy way to hide Instagram stories from specific groups like coworkers

Instagram lacks a reverse 'close friends' feature to quickly hide stories from select people (e.g., colleagues) without hiding from everyone.
