Hi Dhruv, in stories we can have pictures/text status or both. Also let them be scroll-able like you see in Instagram. Avatar should contain the users profile picture for now.

[dhruv8433]

Sorry it's difficult for me...

[narayan954]

Sorry it's difficult for me...

Ohhh, it's alright, I understand its difficult... don't take much stress, what can you do out of them?

[dhruv8433]

I'm created a add to story button but when user added their story it's overlap on posts

isn't that a problem display property: fixed can solve? or if you want to, create a different route to show stories, like perhaps instagram does.

[dhruv8433]

Ok, i will try

[dhruv8433]

you'll need to store them in database. Just like posts are stored in database, you can create a stories collection and this segment of our website will be rendered from that storage. Adding a story will store that story on database and it should remain in memory for 24 hours or till a user will delete them.

[narayan954]

you may leave the 24 hours functionality for now, just enable stories to be added to collection like posts

[dhruv8433]

Ok

[Palakkgoyal]

Hey @narayan954 Can I work on this?

[narayan954]

Go ahead! Also, seems like cloud functions for deleting in 24 hours won't be working on a free plan, how do you plan on implementing this?

[Palakkgoyal]

Let's try if there is any other way.

[narayan954]

Let's try if there is any other way.

right, I'll check as well. Else, we would've to store em all and show the last 24 hours story and delete older stories manually or as a cron job XD

[Palakkgoyal]

No, we will not need to do any such task 😂. I have basically set up a structure for it. Let me tell you, User can add only one story at this point of time(we can work on it later), then, we will store the timestamp of story in user doc. Whenever the profile page get opened we will check whether its been more than 24 hours or not using the timestamp in user doc(This way we will not need to fetch data seperately for story) and if the story is older than 24 hours then we will run a function to delete it from the story collection.
When someone click on user avatar to watch story then, if the story exists then only it get fetched from the server else not.
Downside: If noone visits user profile then, the story will remain there but I think it will not impact any user experience or server performance.
What do you think?

Yes, this is what I meant by manually, we're manually checking time and deleting the story. But that's okay for now. I just read this comment and had picked some of these issues there as well XD. This should work, for now.
Thank you!

[Palakkgoyal]

No worries rather I thank you cause you told so many issues to me. Now, I will go and create issues for all of them and send PR XD.
