    Hi Team,
    Thanks for your great work on the Web Stories plugin. I’d like to suggest a few features that I believe would improve the user experience and make the plugin even more engaging:

    1. Animated Border for Unseen Stories
      It would be great to have an animated colored border around all unseen stories (like on Instagram). Once the specific user views the story, the border disappears.
    2. Seen Stories Moved to End of List
      After a user finishes watching a story (all its slides), it should automatically move to the end of the list. This way, unseen stories always appear first.
    3. Story Completion Based on All Slides Viewed
      If a story has multiple slides, it should only be marked as seen when the user finishes viewing all slides.

    I believe these features are quite basic for any story-based experience and could really enhance the functionality of the plugin. It would be great if you could consider them in future updates.

    Thanks again for your time and great work!

    Thanks for your suggestions! While we don’t have any plans to extend our Web Stories block like that, we’ll keep these considerations in mind should that change.

    Hi @swissspidy ,
    Thanks for your response and for considering my suggestions.
    If extending the Web Stories block with these features isn’t currently on your roadmap, could you please share how you plan to address the usability issues related to tracking seen and unseen stories?
    When there are many stories, it’s really hard for users to know which ones they have already watched and which they haven’t, which affects the overall experience.
    Looking forward to your insights. Thanks again for your great work!

    Best Regard

    At the moment there aren’t any plans from the plugin side to cover this, so it would be up to developers to build something custom.
