New Features in Visual Stories

April 2021

• Android App
• Self host Web Stories on your website
  • Headless CMS

    Use Visual Stories as a decoupled Headless CMS:

    • To create stories, use our story builder. Optionally, self host the story builder frontend itself on your site.
    • To host stories, fetch story list and individual story details using our REST API. Send URL to the API and it'll respond with matching story's details including AMPHTML. Use the AMPHTML to display stories on your site in a search engine friendly way.
    • Our team will guide you to get everything setup.
  • Story builder SPA
