Hello everyone at Product Hunt! ššš
It's Jordan from the Steller team here. (I'm the Marketing Director, but I've been with Steller from the start so I have my hands in just about everything at all times!)
I just wanted to drop in, introduce myself, and share what's going on at Steller.
First of all, I'm really excited about some of the newer features that take storytelling to the next level. The latest tools and themes really let you share an authentic experience. Viewers of your story can essentially peek behind the curtain and get the whole pictureānot just a tiny piece of it.
For those who either donāt know about Steller, or have previously used Steller to tell your stories, hereās an update on how we built out Steller in 2019
- Weāve built out our themes to help authors tell a better story and one thatās highly designed.
- Added context to stories with the ability to add maps (a feature we plan to expand in 2020).
- Improved the ability to share stories in all places of social, which is something we always set out to achieve!
- Updated the aspect ratio of storiesā¦ because full screen!
- Updated our web experience (a feature we plan to continue to update in 2020).
Next year, we look to build out what an author can do and how they can create a more interactive story. The goal is for inspiration to turn into action, so our consumers can utilize Steller as a companion in the key areas of travelā¦ from sofa to destination.
For now, I welcome all feedback. We're always looking to improve the storytelling experience, so let me know what you think!
I've been using the app for a few years now and like the updates Jordan. Well done. I'm still playing with the themes and trying to understand how they now work though. It seems there's a black & a white theme and other theme are now to be purchased separately.
@lebigtrip Hi! We're taking a look into this, but it's not a concrete long term plan we don't think. We've hired a new designer to make the themes as user friendly as possible, helping you tell the best story.
