Hey I was just wondering does each slides in the stories automatically transition to next slide after a definite amount of time like stories in IG and FB. In the demos the slides only change when I click on them.
Am I missing something here?
@shibil_mathew But since its mainly targeted towards Blog posts i would prefer the slide to change only on user interaction.

@shibil_mathew yep, no auto-slide here. Users need to tap or swipe (or use the keyboard arrows) to go to the previous, next slides. My hypothesis is that it's better not to use auto-slide when users need to read something as everyone reads with different speeds. (personally, I'm not a fan of auto-slide). If I implemented auto-slide than I had to add pause on tap, or something like that as well. I'm curious what do you think about this.
👋 Hi Everyone,
there is no break on the maker train, here comes my 4th product 😸
I've built Story View to help content creators keep their visitors inside their own platform.
Here is how it works:
- create a post the way you usually do
- select the most important parts and use them to create a highlighted version of your article
- use the simple combination of images and short texts to communicate your message
- enjoy, that users will stay on your site to read the full article because of the highlights
This is just one use case Story View can help you with. It's also perfect to create a step by step guide for a recipe, to highlight the most important parts of an event, to share your favorite scenes or characters from a movie, etc.
As always, looking for your feedback.

@drew_dunn1 Hi Drew, thank you. So far, so good :) I should definitely work on my distribution and marketing strategy. I was focusing on shipping the main features of the product first, but I think now it's ready for a wider audience.
@feriforgacs Very cool. With still being new to this community and learning everything, what type of traffic were you getting

@drew_dunn1 on the day of launch, I got 692 visitors on the landing page, 197 on the second day. 2 purchases on the first, and 2 other purchases on the second day.
Hi Ferenc,
This looks great!
How do the stories come up in search? Do they work like an AMP post? Or is this for visual purposes only? (and ease of use for the user, I get that).
Looking at this in comparison to tools that create AMP stories that you can embed in your post and show up & are indexed in Google?
Thanks,
Kim

Hi Kim,
thank you :)
They are mainly for visual purposes. If someone finds your content through search, they won't see that a story version is also available only if the visit your page.
It's almost like when you embed a YouTube video to your post.
It can help to improve your position in the serp by keeping your visitors on your site. Let's say they find your article but it looks a bit longer than the one they are looking for. Without Story View, they'll probably go back to select another option from the search results. As far as I know, the time a visitor spends on your site before returning to the search page is something that affects your position. So the longer you can keep them on your site, the better.
@kimdoyal Hi Kim, today I rolled out the latest version of the plugin with AMP Story support. So from now, it's not just for visual purposes but also to drive more traffic to your website from search. Here is a short summary abbout this feature: https://storyviewplugin.com/amp-...
I also implemented an other feature, called Custom Blocks. With the help of that, you can add custom HTML codes, shortcodes to your stories, so you can embed subscription forms, videos, and any kind of HTML blocks to your stories. Here is a demo with an embedded MailChimp subscription form: https://demo.storyviewplugin.com...
Let me know what you think about these.
@feriforgacs LOVING it! Sent you an email with a quick loom video. :-)

@feriforgacs great tool, love it. Just a question on intergration with email provider. I don't use Mailchimp but Sendfox. Can I use Story View with Sendfox? Thanks

@janemanthorpe thank you :)
The Pro version of Story View supports custom HTML blocks and you can use that to embed almost any kind of content (YouTube videos, Spotify playlists, Facebook posts, newsletter forms, etc) to your stories.
So if you can generate HTML code for a Sendfox sign-up form then yes, you can use it with Story View.
Here is a short video on how to embed a YouTube video to your story: https://storyviewplugin.com/embe...
And here is another one about embedding a subscription form: https://storyviewplugin.com/add-...
In your case, it's almost the same. You just need the HTML code from Sendfox.
Feel free to reach out via email at feri@allrdy.com if you have further questions.

thanks @feriforgacs, just viewed the videos, and is exactly what I am after. Will consider purchasing the Pro version. All the best for future success with this plugin.

@janemanthorpe as an early Christmas present, I'd like to give you a free copy of the plugin. Please, send me an email to feri@allrdy.com so I can share the necessary files with you.

@allrdy@feriforgacs Hi Ferenc, Apologises, I only just saw this reply from you. I would love to try out the plugin, is your offer of the free copy still available please? thank you, I will email you as well.
This is something I always wanted in every blog post out there. Imagine going through highlights of every post before taking the leap and reading the whole stuff. Finally a real use for the Story format.
And thank you @feriforgacs for letting MFY be a part of this great product launch.
Wow this looks awesome! None of my friends actually read my travel blog so giving them story highlights in the post seems really powerful, very neat idea!
