Kevin Systrom interviewed at Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco 2011
summary
Instagram starts as a pivot from a multipurpose check-in app called Bourbon into a focused photo product, runs an early prototype in html5 to iterate daily, then rewrites in native iOS code to enable one-tap posting and smoother camera UX. The team trims features, leverages filters to spark rediscovered creativity, targets on-the-go mobile photographers, and hits rapid traction — topping 100,000 users in the first week after launch.
