Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When you want to look at someone's instagram profile (e.g. from feed or a chat) or search up someone you don't know, you'll need to either use the web client or mobile which is a blasphemous crime for InstagramCLI users, plus when you use official clients may easily be tempted to consume brainrot readily available there as well 😭

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be helpful if we can have a profile display page which can be invoked from a CLI with a username argument or from other places e.g. selecting a user from the feed.
The profile page should show information like profile picture, bio, post/followers/following count, maybe stories, notes, and recent posts etc.
Thinking of designing the UI like a neofetch system info display or a README so we can take screenshots of profiles and flex on r/unixporn lmao

Describe alternatives you've considered

Sounds good, should we add a python tag to this as well? I think this is a good issue for first timers since it's pretty standalone, doesn't require complex business logic, and not very urgent. However might require a few more story points as there are both UI and client changes.

1. Create an instagram profiles <search params etc> command
2. Add client endpoints to search with that username, then return a list of users, display them like threads list
3. For selected user, fetch his profile e.g. posts, description..., display them in a new UI component

lgtm 👍 i'd say step 2 is optional, perhaps we can add a --single or similar optional argument so people can use it to quickly search for a specific user.

If anyone'd like to work on this feel free to choose between python or typescript client or both lol
