The sandbox limits are what bother me. They make the API basically useless for side-project type experiments.

I really enjoy Instagram the app to post photos of my travels but as the years go by it's feeling more and more locked down. I'm not really sure what the alternatives are, Flickr?

The I just need an app to make it easy to post. Instagram is the best I've found for that.

Well, if you have an iOS device, maybe Workflow (the app) can help you with that ?

Even better, put up a platform. That's how Youtube started.
