Storymies in Instagram Telegram. Why do designers love Telegram? Because the app feels native. Solidly put together, without the familiar feeling of fighting software. Telegram simply works in our hands. New features feel as if they have always been here. MVP adepts keep thinking their features do not fly because users do not need them, while we enjoy releases like this, which can be shown to colleagues as examples of quality development. I like that the faces are not simply fitted into the industry standard, a horizontal row of avatars, but have a miniature form that responds to the gesture. Hats off for the find. Used to shitposting in this format elsewhere, I feel a certain excessiveness when diving into story creation. Maybe it is the novelty effect, or maybe part of Telegram's whole concept. The whole app has a slight lean toward technologicalness. Compare it with iMessages.) The format fits Telegram perfectly as a publishing platform and is a strong step toward becoming a social network. Reactions to stories that fall into DMs shorten the distance between people so much. Will the product become a social network? For many, it already has. And now a new way of interacting may be born. It is funny to watch dusty jokes about Excel with stories. The jokers do not trouble themselves with thoughts about the mechanisms hidden behind this genius format. Thanks to Evan Spiegel for it. Storymies are the cheapest way for bloggers to produce content so they can remain within the perimeter of attention. Platforms are hungry for content. Bloggers are obliged to generate it every day so they do not sink into oblivion in recommendation systems. Storymies save the day — this is cheap and direct delivery to subscribers. Zen had an attempt at its own Storymies. Unfinished, launched to a small percentage of bloggers and subscribers, they found a response from people. Even after their rotation was turned off, bloggers continued creating them and their subscribers continued watching. If anyone from the team reads me, try returning to this idea. They are perfect for a blogging platform. I would attach a screenshot from Zen here, but where on earth do I dig it up...
