Waddup Product Hunters! 👋
We’re pumped to finally release the first story management platform to support features like uploading, scheduling, analytics and A LOT more. 🚨
Besides being the fastest growing medium of content EVER, stories present a huge marketing opportunity for brands and influencers.
Over the past months we’ve seen content creators such as Gary Vee, almost TRIPLE❗️ their audiences thanks to the adoption and organic nature of stories. And statistics tell us this is just the beginning!
We’re fully committed to helping you leverage this opportunity, not only by providing all the tools you need to manage your content, but also by helping you create the best stories for your target audience! 📸
We’re here all day to answer your questions! 🤗

Edit: After multiple concerns, we'll be adjusting our ToS around being more transparent about the way we operate.
@rossdcurrie Great question Ross! Our users’ security is our top priority. We have developed our own architecture around the official interfaces and interact with the social platforms just as you would as a regular user. We’re not utilizing any unauthorized APIs, thus we’re not putting your account’s security at risk.
@sebyddd That's a very carefully-worded response, but as far as I can see you're an unauthorised third party application, using the applications' official APIs in an unauthorised way.
Snapchat ToS: https://www.snap.com/en-US/terms/
>9. Your Account
> * You will not log in or attempt to access the Services through unauthorized third-party applications or clients.
Instagram Terms of Use: https://help.instagram.com/47874...
> Basic Terms
>10. You must not access Instagram's private API by means other than those permitted by Instagram
While I understand that this service provides desired functionality to a certain user group, it basically violates platform ToS's in the same way that Instagress did, and users of Storyheap run the risk of having their accounts permanently banned.
Given Instagram's recent crack-down on services like this, as they fight to combat bots on their network, what's the long-term business strategy here? It seems like only a matter of time before they shut you down.
@rossdcurrie Ross, I don't think you fully understood my carefully-worded message 😊. As I previously mentioned, we are not using APIs from either of the social platforms. We are interacting with the platforms through their official interfaces. As we're helping some of the world's biggest brands, we definitely can't take any security risk.
Likewise Instagram, we are 100% against spamming and we have our own filters for preventing that. However, that is clearly not the intended purpose of our product.
@sebyddd That's because it's carefully-worded, but a little vague on how exactly you're posting to Snapchat/IG when there is no clearly legitimate mechanism to do so.
@ryanheybourn Judging by @sebyddd's answer, it sounds like it is device emulation. Or maybe they have a bunch of physical devices setup in the same way that Schedugram purportedly does.
Regardless, there are other clauses in the respective ToS's that cover automation, application development, requesting user credentials, etc. It seems a risky position to launch from, particularly given recent enforcements over the last 6 months
I've been playing with Storyheap for a few weeks now, and I'm blown away about the UI, UX and practicality in general. It's super simple, secure and intuitive to use!
Well done Sebastian and team 👏.
Incredibly talented team behind this product. Been following it for a few months now. I'm excited to see how brands and influencers use this. Bonus points for the UI, it's a huge turn on! 🔥😍
Hey Everyone 👊 Really appreciate all the support!
Question for ya: Where do you post your stories? Insta vs. Snap?
Thanks to The Next Web for this feature: https://thenextweb.com/contribut...
If you have any Q's comment or email me support@storyheap.com! Thanks so much
Ive 99 problems, but Stories ain't one. This is such a great time saver, especially with the ability to schedule your stories, cross post them, and view analytics all in once. Simply brilliant
