TheGram

TheGram is the Instagram-ish app. Build profiles and posts in Studio → Modules → TheGram, then unlock them from Ink.

Unlock the app

~ InstallApp("thegram")

Unless Show from start is on.

Unlock a post

<thegram-post-friday-night>

post-friday-night is the post's uniqueId from Studio. If the player follows that account (or it is follow-from-start / their own), they get a notification and the post lands in the feed. The post still unlocks onto the profile if they are not following. Legacy <insta-…> still works.

Unlocked posts are part of the save slot: loading an earlier save (or rewinding chat) drops posts unlocked after that point. Posts marked Show from start stay visible without an unlock.

Live DM

<thegramdm-alex-flirts>

Starts a live TheGram DM tied to a Gram profile (not necessarily a Whapp character). Works from the main chain and from side conversations. Runs in parallel with Whapp.

Several DMs for the same profile share one inbox thread. A later tag appends to that chat. A newer DM for a different profile supersedes the previous active one (only one live TheGram DM at a time). Legacy <instadm-…> still works.

Studio keys DMs by Gram profile. Match order in the engine: DM tags before post tags, so name carefully.

Share a profile card in chat

<share-thegram-alex>

Drops a tappable profile card in Whapp. Match by username. Works in group chats too:

[Ben]<share-thegram-alex>

Player account

Link a TheGram profile to the story's main character and it becomes the player's account: "You" in the chrome, own posts in the feed without follow, header avatar opens it. Only one player profile per app.

Follower count bumps

~ AddTheGramFollowers("alex", 200)

Cosmetic for this player. Persist with saves / rewind like other progress.
