Hey Product Hunt! We are very excited to launch Snappd on Product Hunt today πŸ˜€ Around this time last year stories on Snapchat started to really take on a whole new level with lots of creators taking time to make quality stories, shows & takeovers. These stories would then either be lost or squished into a platform like YouTube where it really does not fit in. Enter Snappd feel free to read more of the story on medium https://medium.com/@russellbarna... Android users we πŸ’– you too, please see the waiting list on the website for now. There are some amazing stories on the app already feel free to check them out and we are looking forward to your feedback and will be here all day to answer any questions you have!

@krishnade Thank you πŸ˜€ The app has changed a lot since you would have seen at beta stage πŸ™‚

Wow, this looks super polished. Congrats on the launch Creeshla & Russell πŸ™Œ My first thought is, can you post your Snappd stories to Snapchat/Instagram? Is it the same 10 second format? Or is it the other way round, where Snappd takes your Snapchat/Instagram stories and imports them into Snappd? In an ideal case, you'd be able to create the story once, and it automatically syndicate out to the other two of the three (Snappd/Snapchat/Instagram).

@fredrivett Awesome thanks really appreciate it! :D At the moment Snappd is ideal for Snapchat / Instagram creators to upload their best stories so they are not lost after 24 hours. - We are always looking for more sustainable ways to automate this process but at the moment stories can either be uploaded to the app from camera roll or shared to Snappd via Snapchat memories. So whilst you cannot create stories directly on Snappd (at the moment) you can upload and redistribute your stories so that you can have a catalog of your past content, which can then easily be shared across social media.
Fred Rivett
@russellbarnard Gotcha, that process makes sense. I definitely think it would take it up a whole 'nuther level if you could get automation going there, and syndication too. Trust you'll do so as soon as you're able to find a way, as you say. I'm not using Snapchat/Instagram stories much right now, but will keep this in mind as I might start doing so more. Hope launch day goes well πŸ‘

@fredrivett Absolutely automation looks slightly more possible for Instagram rather than Snapchat at the moment but always looking into what’s possible :) I’d definitely recommend it & with Snappd it makes it that bit easier to keep all of your content and have a place your viewers can reference back to if they ever miss a story. Thanks again :)

This is a cool way to discover stories around what I'm interested in. I've been using the beta for a while and it's great :-) Congrats to the Snappd team!

Congrats Russell and Creeshla for launching Snappd! Russell and I had a few quick discussions a while back about the concept for Snappd and what he wanted to build and I'm really impressed with his work so far. Love the new design - great job!

I was introduced to this project several months ago. @russellbarnard has been passionately pursuing an ambitious goal to make Snapchat stories more discoverable. Well done πŸ‘

@russellbarnard-- very cool concept! do i have to create the stories here or can they be curated from my YouTube?
Russell Barnard

@ashish_aggarwal Hey you can create the stories as you normally would on Snapchat or Instagram (or even a Periscope stream / Instagram live) and they can then be uploaded from camera roll directly within the app or shared to Snappd via Snapchat memories. - As long as the video is vertical it can be uploaded πŸ™‚

Congrats! The idea is super cool! However, in the video screen, there are exactly the same "i" buttons at the bottom of the page. I guess one of them should be the "like" button or something.
