  • README getting-started guide is excellent

Alternatives named

  • Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger Stories features

    From 2 comments

  • Snapchat Stories

    From 1 comment
    • Some would say Facebook/Zuckerberg has gone too far in copying competitors' features into Instagram/Faceboook. Snapchat's Stories is a recent example of this. Hence Zuck.js
