Insomniac

We updated the way that we store data that is generated during the bot's operation: interactions, filtering, scrapping, etc. Now everything lives in a single database for ALL accounts. Database is called "insomniac.db".

It's a big step for us, because with this new database structure your bot will keep much more data (literally all actions it does). It opens the door for many great features in future releases.

However, to make this release valuable we also managed to do some fixes and improvements:
- Fixed "remove mass followers" action
- Fixed crashes on high resolution devices at start
- Fixed user switching
- Fixed crash when trying to comment but comments are restricted
- Fixed possible crashes when opening a random post in scraping by hashtags and in interaction/scraping by places
- Fixed "no likes, scroll down" infinite loop
- Fixed accidental leaving profile after watching stories
- Now you can provide not only usernames, but also posts urls in targets.txt ([example](https://github.com/alexal1/Insomniac/blob/master/targets.txt))

**New features**
- Typing: now Insomniac types any text (search query / comment / etc.) character-by-character, just like a human does
- Spintax: we've added support for a {very useful|amazing} format that {boosts|highly increases} randomness of your generated comments

**Improvements and Bugfixes**
- Changed the way of opening posts in hashtags interaction – fixed crashes when accidentally opening IGTV and when unable to find an Xth post
- Added a check that backpress worked (screen was changed). If not worked – press back again. Probably fixes a crash during hashtags interaction, will wait for your feedback
- If we skip a profile because it's private, write it to the database to avoid opening it again and again
- Fixed liking (was crashing on some types of posts)
- Fixed infinite cycle when trying to interact with your own profile
- Fixed writing time of actions in the database (was always the same as at the script start)

Improvements:
- Skip private profiles even without activation (made "only_public" filter a default one)
- Now targets count of real account is printed when starting scrapers
- If you run Instagram app for the first time it asks for "location permission" at some point, now bot handles this itself
- If bot doesn't see a "like" or "comment" button it's now smart enough to swipe down a bit :)

Bugfixes:
- Fixed crash while commenting (272)
- Fixed shell colors for Windows
- Fixed not working `--likes-percentage` parameter
- Fixed language switching (yes, again)

- Hid profiles fetching under a flag. Now you should add `--fetch-profiles-from-net` if you want to try fetching a profile from internet before actually entering a profile. This feature speeds up the bot, but some users considered it dangerous (I personally used it without any issue, so it's up to you to decide)
- Added German docs (https://insomniac-bot.com/docs/#/de/). Thanks to simonmannsfeld!
- Fixed crash when scrolling profiles
- Fixed scrolling through likers (thanks to simonmannsfeld again!)

- Updated analytics.py to make it work with the database
- Screen recording 📹 (in debug mode only). You can use it to catch bugs. Feel free to attach videos when creating issues! In order to use it you'll have to: 1) install additional packages `pip3 install -U "uiautomator2[image]" -i https://pypi.doubanio.com/simple` 2) run the bot with the `--debug` flag.
- Fixed not working "privacy_relation" filter
- Fixed unfollowing
