Show HN: Zuck.js, a JavaScript library that lets you add Stories everywhere
- sova 9y agoCan someone please ask Mr. Zuckerberg to use his powers for good pls
- jplasmeier 9y agoBut he's making the world more "open and connected!" (by bringing internet to third world countries and restricting them to his website...)
- vosper 9y agoHe did give $75 million to a hospital serving poor, elderly people, uninsured working families, and immigrants. So he's not all bad.
- Gaelan 9y agoHAH! Seriously though, it is weird having three identical-looking Stories features that don't show the same data, despite being linked to my FB account (can't speak for WhatsApp as I don't use it).
- kylehotchkiss 9y agoInstagrams keeps getting new (and weirdly cutesy) new features like stickers and stuff
- weirdlycutesy 9y ago"Keeps getting" They're copying snapchat features wholesale. If you want a glimpse of what feature they'll release next month just take a look at snapchat of today.
- kylehotchkiss 9y agoI love this username
- shouldbworking 9y agoThis is just what I needed for my internet enabled fridge
- freecodyx 9y agoha, "zuck" is a bad word in my native language ..
- brunoluiz 9y agoWell, now Microsoft can speed up the process and implement it at LinkedIn
- dandandan 9y agoOr Yammer
- BinaryIdiot 9y agoI'm actually quite surprised to not see something like "Professional Stories" at LinkedIn. Basically stories but sharing your professional accomplishments or something. I hope to continue to not see these on LinkedIn. The site is bad enough already.
- LoSboccacc 9y agoWell there are those albeit in written form via the influencer program Linkedin is oddly positioned tho because most its user base is undee NDAs
- Mithaldu 9y agoWhat is this? Does it have a serious purpose and i just can't identify it, or is it satire i don't grok?
- nerfhammer 9y agoThe idea is that facebook has added stories to facebook, instagram, whatsapp and facebook messenger in a frenetic binge presumable attempt to crush snapchat.
- ClassyJacket 9y agoAnd somehow, none of them are connected (not even Facebook and Messenger), so you have four different story apps from the one company.
- kzrdude 9y agoI had missed that facebook owned instagram.

- LeoNatan25 9y agoAnd each has slightly different look and feel. Facebook and their products…
- delecti 9y agoThe FB and Messenger ones are different too!? At least the other three are separate accounts, so that's justifiable, but FB and Messenger are the same account, they're even the same website on desktop.
- clusmore 9y ago>they're even the same website on desktop This isn't entirely correct - there is messenger.com if you want to use messenger without the distraction of your news feed.
- niftich 9y agoBeautiful. Great satire, excellent timing, and does what it says on its Face. Skinnable for extra Snazz, configurable with your own endpoints for Insta-Stories. No giant framework, just a Gram of vanilla JS. This guy knows Whats up.

- gabrielcsapo 9y agoThis is awesome, thank you, made my day :)
- _RPM 9y agoAny relation to Mark Zuckerberg?
- LeoNatan25 9y agoThe demo site runs bad on iOS. Bad scrolling (i.e. overflow not set to "touch"), animations are very choppy, videos do not play inline, unable to swipe to dismiss. The last one is not a big deal, but the others are crucial.
- aklemm 9y agoAs someone who doesn't use snapchat nor instagram, the stories feature on Facebook mobile and Messenger is really confusing. It seems to have come from nowhere and is just in my way. I'm afraid to click on it.
- nkrisc 9y agoI still have no idea what it is or what it does. Someone told me it's this feature, "Stories," but what does that mean? Does it have something to do with those text-on-gradient images that have been popping up? Like a status update but on top of some colors?
- aklemm 9y agoIt's a mystery, and I have no compelling reason to try to figure it out on my own.
- brunoluiz 9y agoI was checking the code and.... getStoryMorningGlory = function(what) { //my wife told me to stop singing Wonderwall. I SAID MAYBE. https://github.com/ramon82/zuck.js/blob/master/zuck.js#L807 https://github.com/ramon82/zuck.js/blob/master/zuck.js#L807
- kenshi 9y agoI look forward to seeing this being integrated into every Electron app.
- ch4s3 9y agoIt might be a fun way to share live coding snippets.
- deleted 9y ago[deleted]
- debt 9y agothis is pretty dang funny
- ziikutv 9y agoDang this human is good
- dejawu 9y agoThis readme is unironically excellent. I wish some actual serious projects had "getting started" guides this good.
- turnip1979 9y agoWhy is this called zuck?
- HeyItsShuga 9y agoBecause it's making fun of Facebook adding stories into to all of their apps.
- deleted 9y ago[deleted]
- HeyItsShuga 9y agoI can't wait until this is implemented into GitHub! Then I can really code socially! /s
- deepsy 9y agoThis lib reminds me of https://github.com/auchenberg/volkswagen https://github.com/auchenberg/volkswagen :D
- kiliankoe 9y agoLove that project, but that evergreen buildbadge with the Volkswagen logo is just gold.
- krystiangw 9y agoThanks man. That was good
