Purpose
Quick, we don't want her to know that we saved this pic, what shall we do? SnapchatHax to the rescue! The purpose of this project is twofold:
- to provide an easy-to-use Objective-C platform to interface with the Snapchat backend.
- to provide users with an easy-to-use iOS application for the purpose of bypassing Snapchat's inherent limitations.
Currently, this bare-bones app does my minimal requirements. Now, however, I have my heart set on beating the guy who wrote SnapHack. By the end of this, I should have a relatively full-featured Objective-C interface for Snapchat's backend!
To-do
Here's a list of things I think are pretty much essential:
- Make the backlog include old snaps that are no longer viewable
- Option to clear feed
- Change nickname and email address
Here are some features which would ideally be added:
- Send snaps to friends (pictures & video)
- Add & remove friends
- Block and unblock users
- Do something with stories, although I don't even understand them.
- Get "bests" of users

Update: I have since started using dstelljes/php-snapchat/ for reference. This is a more complete set of functions.
