What is Stories?

Stories, as a general concept, refer to a way of sharing information, experiences, or ideas through narrative. In technology, the term "stories" is commonly associated with short-form, ephemeral content formats prevalent on social media platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and others. These stories typically consist of photos or short videos that are available for a limited time (usually 24 hours) and are often enhanced with filters, text, stickers, and interactive elements. They are used for sharing everyday moments, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and engaging with audiences in a more casual and immediate way. Software development also utilizes "user stories" to capture a description of a software feature from an end-user perspective.
