Abstract

The disclosed computer-implemented method for sharing content and allowing users to react using storyline-based feedback may include (1) posting a digital story for consumption by one or more specified users, (2) providing, within the posted digital story, an electronic feedback prompt that enables a user to initiate different types of feedback, each of which electronically portrays a reaction to the digital story, (3) receiving, from the electronic feedback prompt, a user selection of a selectable element corresponding to a certain type of digital feedback, and (4) in response to receiving the user selection, initiating a digital creation process to create the certain type of digital feedback. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Claims (61)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

posting a digital story for consumption by one or more specified users;

providing, within the posted digital story, an electronic feedback prompt that enables a user to initiate a plurality of different types of feedback, each of which electronically portrays a reaction to the digital story, the electronic feedback prompt comprising:

a storyline-based feedback portion that enables the user to initiate storyline-based feedback; and

a one-click feedback portion that enables the user to initiate emoji-based feedback;

receiving, from the electronic feedback prompt, a user selection of a selectable element corresponding to a certain type of digital feedback; and

in response to receiving the user selection, initiating a digital creation process to create the certain type of digital feedback.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

prior to posting the digital story, during a story creation process:

receiving a first input indicating that one or more portions of content are to be part of the digital story; and

receiving a second input indicating that the digital story is available to receive storyline-based feedback, the storyline-based feedback comprising ephemeral visual content related to the digital story that is stored in a same container as the digital story.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one-click feedback portion enables the user to select an emoji with at least one of a single mouse-click or a single screen tap.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:

the storyline-based feedback comprises a feedback story with ephemeral visual content depicting a reaction to the digital story; and

the emoji-based feedback comprises an emoji depicting a reaction to the digital story.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:

the storyline-based feedback portion comprises a software widget that initiates the digital creation of a feedback story; and

the one-click feedback portion comprises a plurality of selectable emojis.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein:

receiving the user selection of the selectable element comprises receiving input to the software widget; and

initiating the digital creation process comprises presenting a feedback-story creation screen.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , further comprising:

creating a feedback story based on content submitted to the feedback-story creation screen; and

updating the digital story with the feedback story in storyline form.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the feedback-story creation screen is configured with a plurality of vertically aligned layers comprising a text layer and a media layer.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , further comprising:

providing a subsequent graphics-selection screen in response to receiving content via the feedback-story creation screen; and

automatically generating search terms to select visual content to display on the subsequent graphics-selection screen based on the content received via the feedback-story creation screen.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , wherein:

receiving the user selection of the selectable element comprises receiving a selection of an emoji from among the plurality of selectable emojis; and

initiating the digital creation process comprises digitally affixing the selected emoji to the digital story.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic feedback prompt further comprises a feedback summary portion comprising information describing existing feedback stories that have already been added to the digital story.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the feedback summary portion alternates between a first configuration, indicating that a viewer has already consumed the existing feedback stories, and a second configuration, indicating that the viewer has not consumed at least a subset of the existing feedback stories.

13. A system comprising:

at least one physical processor;

physical memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the physical processor, cause the physical processor to:

post a digital story for consumption by one or more specified users;

provide, within the posted digital story, an electronic feedback prompt that enables a user to initiate a plurality of different types of feedback, each of which electronically portrays a reaction to the digital story, the electronic feedback prompt comprising:

a storyline-based feedback portion that enables the user to initiate storyline-based feedback; and

a one-click feedback portion that enables the user to initiate emoji-based feedback;

receive, from the electronic feedback prompt, a user selection of a selectable element corresponding to a certain type of digital feedback; and

in response to receiving the user selection, initiate a digital creation process to create the certain type of digital feedback.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the physical processor, further cause the physical processor to, during a story creation process:

receive a first input indicating that one or more portions of content are to be part of the digital story; and

receive a second input indicating that the digital story is available to receive storyline-based feedback, the storyline-based feedback comprising ephemeral visual content related to the digital story that is stored in a same container as the digital story.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the one-click feedback portion enables the user to select an emoji with at least one of a single mouse-click or a single screen tap.

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein:

the storyline-based feedback comprises a feedback story with ephemeral visual content depicting a reaction to the digital story; and

the emoji-based feedback comprises an emoji depicting a reaction to the digital story.

17. The system of claim 13 , wherein:

the storyline-based feedback portion comprises a software widget that initiates the creation of a feedback story; and

the one-click feedback portion comprises a plurality of selectable emojis.

18. The system of claim 13 , wherein the electronic feedback prompt further comprises a feedback summary portion comprising information describing existing feedback stories that have already been added to the digital story.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the feedback summary portion alternates between a first configuration, indicating that a viewer has already consumed the existing feedback stories, and a second configuration, indicating that the viewer has not consumed at least a subset of the existing feedback stories.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to generate a user interface that facilitates:

posting a digital story for consumption by one or more specified users;

providing, within the posted digital story, an electronic feedback prompt that enables a user to initiate a plurality of different types of feedback, each of which electronically portrays a reaction to the digital story, the electronic feedback prompt comprising:

a storyline-based feedback portion that enables the user to initiate storyline-based feedback; and

a one-click feedback portion that enables the user to initiate emoji-based feedback;

receiving, from the electronic feedback prompt, a user selection of a selectable element corresponding to a certain type of digital feedback; and

in response to receiving the user selection, initiating a digital creation process to create the certain type of digital feedback.
