Also, thinking through this a bit more deeply, obviously someone could get data into their json file anyway they wanted, but the easiest way for most people would be a Micropub app that just allows you to snap a photo and upload it without asking for all the normal Micropub stuff. We would need some way to inform the person's server that the post is intended to be a "story". One option would be to send something like channel: ['stories'] or you could make a specialized Micropub app like that have a config screen where you define what additional metadata it sends and then people could use whatever method they wanted, a channel property, a tag property, etc. I definitely don't think a new attribute would be right, and I know channel isn't really used anywhere except your and my sites, but we also can't do tag as a default or else the posts would automatically show up on people's websites as a normal post (unless they configured posts with a specific tag to be routed somewhere else). So this is tricky, but I definitely think something like this would be required for me to use it routinely. My default for my site would probably be to use a 'stories' channel and then to be able to set an audience on each photo/video so that some things I could provide to a subset of people.

At some point, they start charging you for the extra breakfasts.

I think I would want one list of stories. I like how Instagram will just play through all the stories straight. I think stories is pretty different than feeds so you don’t need that categorization.

The other thing is I’m wondering, do we just make the story JSON mf2 json since you all have experimented with that as a Wordpress side file?

I think this is a great idea! I would love to share stories and view stories in the IndieWeb. I haven’t added it to my website because I’m sure I won’t post because I know it is unlikely that anyone will visit my site daily and look at them. But I would totally publish them if I knew they could show up in people’s readers! I also would totally add support for this in Indigenous for iOS

Screenshots of stories (or Snaps, if you wanna trace the idea to the original) seems to be the intended workflow. So Stories being saved doesn’t seem to be a problem… I guess? And remember that if it got on the Internet, it remains on the Internet… forever.

The visibility of story content seems to be present on story-supporting silos, so that should be fairly logical to implement. Authentication would be required in this case.
