Web Development
Apr 11, 2023
I handle social media, especially Instagram, and I usually use Meta Business as a tool for scheduling posts. However, sometimes I face a problem where the caption won't appear. I initially thought it was an Instagram cache problem or something relevant, but then I realized that I made a mistake in my caption itself. It turned out that the caption I wrote exceeded the criteria. Meta Business didn't validate it at first, so I thought the caption was already fine.
I am currently creating a tool that validates captions, with the following features:
Checks caption length
Counts tagged usernames and hashtags
Provides tips and tricks for creating better captions.
The tech stack I'm using is not extensive. Can you guess what it is? Only native HTML and JavaScript (with jQuery for simplicity). Regular expressions (regex) are proving to be very helpful at the moment. The main point of this web application is the regex. It's still under development, so if you find any bugs, please don't hesitate to contact me.
