Add stories EVERYWHERE

MWHAHAHAHA. Seriously. This script is a copy of Facebook Stories of ~~a copy of Facebook Messenger Day (RIP)~~ of a copy of WhatsApp status of a copy of Instagram stories of a copy of Snapchat stories.

You can read stories from any endpoint (JSON, Firebase, etc.) and the script will do the rest.

React support

This library is not made exclusively for React, but you can still use it with refs or by creating components based on the markup sample.

See react.sample.html for the simple implementation or react-components.sample.html for the detailed one.

Tips

• You can use with autoFullScreen option (disabled by default) to emulate an app on mobile devices.
• If you use Ionic or some js that uses location.hash, you should always disable the "backNative" option which can mess your navigation.

Limitations

On mobile browsers, video can't play with audio without a user gesture. So the script tries to play audio only when the user clicks to see the next story. When the story is playing automatically, the video is muted, but an alert is displayed so the user may click to turn the audio on.

Stories links opens in a new window too. This behaviour occurs because most websites are blocked on iframe embedding.
