Love the concept, but it took me 3 uses to realize I could "tap" to progress through the story. The first screen of each article has the arrow, but the 2nd screen is (always?) all white with plain text. I remember during my first use I tried swiping to no avail, then ended up clicking the close button. Since Sip is minimal, I though that was it, and I was ok with that. On the second use I was wondering what that indicator was up in the top right notch of my phone (iPhone X). I actually tapped on it trying to figure out what it was, but it was not responsive. I wasn't sure if it was part of the app UI or something I had never seen before native to iOS. Last night, I accidentally discovered the tap! Functions much like an IG story, makes me like the app even more, but the UI didn't convey that to me. I just saw the screenshots here on Product Hunt, and the non-iPhone X UI seems to do a much better job. I think a segmented bar (instead of a progress bar) would work better, but if taps on the bar advanced the story that would probably be enough. The bar definitely caught my eye, I just didn't put two and two together. Another option/addition would be to use the touch "down" event to advance the story so that attempts to swipe would also be caught. It seems to be looking to a tap "gesture" which needs to be much more intentional. Curious if you got this feedback from anyone else, or if I'm just getting old.
