It's a super-cute app that allows you to send e-Valentines to your beloved through Instagram — but even cuter, perhaps, is the story behind the app's creation. We were so inspired by the idea, actually, that we created a few examples of our own featuring some BuzzFeed favorites.

TechCrunch has the romantic background story on how the app came to be:

Kaitlyn Trigger is a marketing director at Rally.org. She also happens to be Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger’s girlfriend of two and a half years.

Last December, Trigger decided she wanted to be able to talk to her boyfriend in depth about the stuff he was working on. So the Yale political science major who “never took any computer classes” covertly downloaded “Learn Python the Hard Way” and began the Odyssey into programming, deadline Valentines’ Day.

Her goal? To create what is now Lovestagram, a way to take the Instagram photos you’ve shared with a specific person and turn them into an e-Valentine.

We've taken the liberty of creating come some relevant mock-up examples of Lovestagrams that you may (or may not!) want to send to your friends and lovers:

Which makes sense, because a broken iPhone is totally an emergency worth calling about.

This is Michael Allen Skopec. He's 48. He got drunk and couldn't figure out what was wrong with his iPhone. So he called 911 over and over again. These tapes are full of amazing quotes. My personal favorite involves the dispatcher asking if she should send an officer to help Skopec. His response: "He can't help me... Because he'll shoot me with a gun." I love this guy.

"Michelle and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Jobs. Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.

By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity. By making computers personal and putting the internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grownups alike. Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like it was his last. Because he did, he transformed our lives, redefined entire industries, and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: he changed the way each of us sees the world.

The world has lost a visionary and there may be no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned about his passing on a device he invented. Finally, Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to Steve's wife Laurene, his family, and all those who loved him."
