2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:
the first rendering comprises a story and the first consumption channel comprises a stories consumption channel; and
the second rendering comprises a newsfeed post and the second consumption channel comprises a newsfeed consumption channel.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein:
the newsfeed consumption channel presents a scrollable collection of newsfeed compositions; and
the stories consumption channel presents a continuous series of story compositions, one by one, automatically transitioning from presenting one story composition to a next story composition.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:
creating the first rendering further comprises superimposing a metadata item over a media item; and
creating the second rendering further comprises, rather than superimposing the metadata item over the media item, using text extracted from the metadata item within the caption.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:
the additional content further comprises a selection of a background and a selection of a customization for the text of the additional content, the selection of the customization comprising a selection of at least one of a color, a font, or a size for the text of the additional content; and
creating the super-awesome-text-post rendering comprises displaying the background behind the text of the additional content and applying the customization to the text of the additional content.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein collecting the content via the composition screen comprises:
collecting the content directly from the composition screen; or
collecting the content from an additional screen linked to the composition screen.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the content further comprises a metadata item submitted via the composition screen.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein the metadata item comprises one or more digital stickers.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein the first rendering includes a version of the one or more digital stickers that differs in appearance from a version of the one or more digital stickers included in the second rendering.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein the metadata item comprises at least one of:
friends metadata;
location metadata; or
feelings metadata.
11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the composition screen comprises an initial composition landing screen presented in response to receiving user input initiating a social composition process.
12. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
posting at least one of the first rendering to the first consumption channel or the second rendering to the second consumption channel; and
posting at least one of the super-awesome-text-post rendering to the first consumption channel or the plain-text rendering to the second consumption channel.
13. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , wherein:
posting at least one of the first rendering to the first consumption channel or the second rendering to the second consumption channel comprises posting the first rendering to the first consumption channel and posting the second rendering to the second consumption channel; and
posting at least one of the super-awesome-text-post rendering to the first consumption channel or the plain-text rendering to the second consumption channel comprises posting the super-awesome-text-post rendering to the first consumption channel and posting the plain-text rendering to the second consumption channel.
14. 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:
collect, via a composition screen, content, comprising photographs and text, for an image-based user composition;
concurrently create, based on the content, a first rendering of the image-based user composition, to be viewed from a first consumption channel, and a second rendering of the image-based user composition, to be viewed from a second consumption channel, wherein:
creating the first rendering comprises adding the photographs to a slideshow and adding the text to a slideshow cover card to be displayed as a first slide in the slideshow; and
creating the second rendering comprises adding the photographs to a collage and adding the text to a caption for the collage;
collect, via the composition screen, additional content comprising text for a text-based user composition; and
concurrently create, based on the additional content, a super-awesome-text-post rendering of the text-based user composition, to be viewed from the first consumption channel, and a plain-text rendering of the text-based user composition, to be viewed from the second consumption channel.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein:
the first rendering comprises a story and the first consumption channel comprises a stories consumption channel; and
the second rendering comprises a newsfeed post and the second consumption channel comprises a newsfeed consumption channel.
16. The system of claim 14 , wherein:
the first rendering superimposes a metadata item over a media item; and
the second rendering, rather than superimpose the metadata item over the media item, uses text extracted from the metadata item within the caption.
17. The system of claim 14 , wherein:
the additional content further comprises a selection of a background and a selection of a customization for the text of the additional content, the selection of the customization comprising a selection of at least one of a color, a font, or a size for the text of the additional content; and
creating the super-awesome-text-post rendering comprises displaying the background behind the text of the additional content and applying the customization to the text of the additional content.
18. The system of claim 14 , wherein the composition screen comprises an initial composition landing screen presented in response to receiving user input initiating a social composition process.
19. The system of claim 14 , wherein collecting the content comprises:
collecting the content directly from the composition screen; or
collecting the content from an additional screen linked to the composition screen.
20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-readable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
