The time has come - we're (soft-) launching „Stories“ on iOS today. At the top of your timeline you’ll see the stories of the people you follow. We’ll start with photos and a text overlay. Stories will be visible for 24h (we’ll add more options later).

Stories on ATproto is conceptually funny - ephemeral UI pattern on top of a protocol where everything is technically permanent and content-addressed.

For what it’s worth, after I posted a story, I went to the stories section of my profile, but when I tapped the story there, I just got a blank white screen, nothing on it and no way of getting back. I had to restart the app.

Stories compatibility between Flashes and @sprk.so would be sick (but I can understand if it could be a bit tricker to manage, especially the programed deletion part)

I’d love to have a 9:16 editor for the stories, kind of like Instagram for example, so I can make them look good for for the mobile screen view rather than just post a 4:3 image on the story

Is the first Android alpha update coming soon? There are definitely some things that need to be updated, but it's still an alpha version.

OMGGG I’ve wanted an atproto stories app 😍 something quick, temporary, yet still fun Is there any integration w bluesky too (eg a deep link or something) or is it *just* Flashes users? also I’d love to be able to move the text on the story!

ah ok! btw I’m unable to post to my story for some reason? it says “Uploading” then nothing happens. even tried restarting the app

oh now I remember why I wanted to do a phased release...when enabling Stories the first time it pulls data from your repo to sync mutes and blocks...I think the app view may be stressed out rn :)
