Storyus is the Slow Social family-friendly collaborative storytelling platform. Your glorious story deserves more TLC. Lovingly crafted by @bseymour and friends

“Snippets”

Will be the next major addition to the Storyus content-types.

Hopefully the name will turn out to be self-explanatory, and will complement the other types : reflecting, moment, postcard et. al.

It’s something I’ve been pondering adding to the platform for 18 month.

Plan in decades.
Think in years.
Work in months.
Live in days.

Loved putting together our family @StoryusLife timeline for 2021 - 'joining the dots' by looking backward makes so much of the year appear a lot more orderly than it felt at the time!

‘Joining the Dots’ initial release is live.

Such a powerful and immersive way to remember the journey.

Loving the drone panorama from our great lockdown local walk - so grateful that we had some sun, so we could get some space

A short post/blog about the release of Weeknotes

[Storyus @StoryusLife]

After trialling #weeknotes for a couple of weeks, feedback is very positive and so we are pleased to be rolling it out. #buildinpublic

Initial results of our latest print tests are fantastic!

Storyus Reflections translate so very well to these fridge magnets, and loving the memory triggers when I grab the milk - so we’ve been exploring adding more physical products to the Storyus platform.

Storyus Moments (and digital Postcards) relate so very well to physical postcards, so we’ve been exploring adding physical postcards to the Storyus platform.

Currently sitting and reflecting on 2019.

How many amazing memories does it take to make an amazing month, year or life?

What can we do to encourage more amazing moments and experiences? What can we do to strengthen the memories?

Really pleased with the initial release of this new playful image gallery: 'stacked' - like a stack of old instant film photographs on a table

I would love to know what you think of the design in general?

[Storyus @StoryusLife]

Recent releases:
Magazine w/ category navigation and the rather stonking new media collection design

[Storyus @StoryusLife]

...but my favourite aspect is that the views and stories shown are very much dependent on the permissions of the viewer.

In those screenshots you can see my public stories are feature great conferences like @naconf and @pixelpioneers , and my personal view more family focused

[Storyus @StoryusLife]

The Storyus Magazine content-type is live - we’re really excited about how this brings our stories together in more meaningful and relevant ways.

You can choose what categories, collections, tags and types of stories that can go into each section...

Snapshots is now live in beta 🙂

A few of those gorgeous photos that stand on their own merit, aside of the context and story behind them.

For example The Seymours Collective public snapshots are here: https://t.co/BJsCXXA2ZG

Seeing how the family members of all ages use the platform has been rather inspiring, and will nudge the direction of some of the coming platform updates - and we look forward to sharing them with you soon.

This includes our most commited beta-testers, who are members of my family (whose stories are not publicly available). After 2 weeks family time over the summer, I am taking a little time to enjoy reading some of the stories from the family from our wonderful fortnight together
