Abstract

A first story is displayed at a client device. The first story includes a second story and an indication of a previous user interaction with the second story that resulted in creation of the first story. First and second user-feedback interfaces corresponding to the first story and second story, respectively, are concurrently displayed. The first and second user-feedback interfaces include affordances for providing user feedback regarding their respective stories. User feedback is received for the first story through the first user-feedback interface or for the second story through the second user-feedback interface. When the user feedback is received through the first user-feedback interface, notification is sent to a server to associate the user feedback with the first story, and when the user feedback is received through the second user-feedback interface, notification is sent to the server to associate the user feedback with the second story.

Claims (77)

1. A method, comprising:

at a client device having one or more processors and memory storing instructions for execution by the one or more processors:

displaying a first story, wherein the first story comprises a republication of a second story and an indication of a previous user interaction with the second story that resulted in creation of the first story;

concurrently with displaying the first story, displaying a compressed view of a first user-feedback interface corresponding to the first story and a compressed view of a second user-feedback interface corresponding to the second story, wherein

the first user-feedback interface comprises one or more first affordances for providing user feedback regarding the first story;

the second user-feedback interface comprises one or more second affordances for providing user feedback regarding the second story; and

displaying the compressed view of the second user-feedback interface comprises displaying the one or more second affordances;

receiving user feedback for the first story through the first user-feedback interface or for the second story through the second user-feedback interface;

when the user feedback is received through the first user-feedback interface, sending notification to a server to associate the user feedback with the first story;

when the user feedback is received through the second user-feedback interface, sending notification to the server to associate the user feedback with the second story;

detecting user selection of the first user-feedback interface or the second user-feedback interface;

when user selection of the first user-feedback interface is detected, displaying an expanded view of the first user-feedback interface concurrently with displaying the compressed view of the second user-feedback interface, the expanded view of the first user-feedback interface including the one or more first affordances and replacing at least a portion of the second story; and

when user selection of the second user-feedback interface is detected, displaying an expanded view of the second user-feedback interface concurrently with displaying the compressed view of the first user-feedback interface, the expanded view of the second user-feedback interface including the one or more second affordances and replacing at least a portion of the second story.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first user-feedback interface further comprises:

an indication of a first user associated with the previous user interaction with the second story that resulted in creation of the first story, and

user feedback of one or more users, not including the first user, for the first story.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the previous user interaction comprises sharing, by a first user, of the second story.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the previous user interaction comprises providing, by a first user, of user feedback for the second story.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein displaying the first user-feedback interface comprises displaying at least a portion of the user feedback for the second story provided by the first user in the previous user interaction with the second story that resulted in creation of the first story.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the compressed view of the first user-feedback interface comprises:

a portion of user feedback for the second story provided by a first user in the previous user interaction that resulted in creation of the first story, and

indication of user feedback of a first set of users, not including the first user, for the first story; and

the expanded view of the first user-feedback interface comprises:

the user feedback for the second story provided by the first user; and

user feedback of a second set of users for the first story, wherein the second set of users is a subset of the first set of users.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the compressed view of the first user-feedback interface comprises the one or more first affordances; and

the expanded view of the first user-feedback interface comprises the one or more first affordances and one or more third affordances for providing user feedback regarding the first story, wherein the one or more first affordances are distinct from the one or more third affordances.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein respective affordances of the one or more first affordances and the one or more third affordances are selected from the group consisting of an affordance for recommending the first story, an affordance for sharing the first story, an affordance for commenting on the first story, and an affordance for liking the first story.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

detecting the selection comprises detecting a continuous swipe gesture beginning on the first user-feedback interface; and

displaying the expanded view of the first user-feedback interface comprises displaying, while detecting the continuous swipe gesture, an increasing portion of the expanded view of the first user-feedback interface until the entire expanded view of the first user-feedback interface is displayed.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the compressed view of the first user-feedback interface shows a first type of user feedback; and

the expanded view of the first user-feedback interface shows the first type of user feedback and a second type of user feedback, distinct from the first type of user feedback.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the second user-feedback interface comprises displaying user feedback of one or more users for the second story.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the compressed view of the second user-feedback interface comprises user feedback of a first set of users for the second story; and

the expanded view of the second user-feedback interface comprises user feedback of a second set of users for the second story, wherein the first set of users is a subset of the second set of users.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein:

the compressed view of the second user-feedback interface shows a first type of user feedback; and

the expanded view of the second user-feedback interfaces shows the first type of user feedback and a second type of user feedback, distinct from the first type of user feedback.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the compressed view of the second user-feedback interface comprises the one or more second affordances; and

the expanded view of the second user-feedback interface comprises the one or more second affordances and one or more fourth affordances for providing user feedback regarding the second story, wherein the one or more second affordances are distinct from the one or more fourth affordances.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein respective affordances of the one or more second affordances and the one or more fourth affordances are selected from the group consisting of an affordance for recommending the second story, an affordance for sharing the second story, an affordance for commenting on the second story, and an affordance for liking the second story.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

detecting the selection comprises detecting a continuous swipe gesture beginning on the second user-feedback interface; and

displaying the expanded view of the second user-feedback interface comprises displaying, while detecting the continuous swipe gesture, an increasing portion of the expanded view of the second user-feedback interface until the entire expanded view of the second user-feedback interface is displayed.

17. A client device, comprising:
