What is GroupSnap?

GroupSnap is a "bot" program that monitors a Snapchat account for incoming snaps, and automatically reposts those snaps to its account's story. Essentially, this program allows you to create groups on Snapchat by setting up a new "group" account and using GroupSnap to share all received snaps on its story. For more info, just try GroupSnap out for yourself.

2. Ensure privacy settings and friendships are set as desired

Bugs

• GroupSnap does not currently support video.
• Occasionally, GroupSnap will fail to reach Snapchat's servers (due to IP blocking, connection issues, etc). In these cases, snap re-posting will be delayed.

To do
