Moments/Status/24-Hour Post

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Something people miss a lot(mainly on Twitter) is the 24-Hour Posts, Twitter had Moments and Instagram have Status.

Those posts can be text (which you can add a Gradient Background, use stickers, use Various fonts and styles), images(Where you could use filters, add text, use stickers and much more) or Audio.

I don't know if twitter was so complete but i am sure Instagram had its twist.

Describe the solution you'd like

Something that could be done is to mimic a bit Twitter Implementation:

Various circles on top of the screen showing status/moments from people you follow.

Each circle showing a preview/thumbnail of the first post in the status (which could hold more than one 24-hour post, like Instagram), if it was a photo, would be a very clunky version of the photo, if it was a video, the first frame of it, now if is a text, i'd recommend using a black "T" inside the circle and if is audio i'd use a Megaphone.

Also when you clicked/touched the circle it would lead to the post and a progress bar on the top and after the bar reaches the end it would open the next post on the queue (again, like Instagram)

When it's a video the duration of said progress bar is the duration of the video.

Instagram, shows a primitive for each post in the status and each primitive is a progress bar for said post.

The posts inside the status could not be saved/Bookmarked... Well it would not be bad, you could allow the user to save those posts but once the Post expires the user won't be able to see them.

You could allow the user to extend the post duration to a maximum 4 days (24*4) but i don't think it would be needed.

Also the status creator can Delete, Edit and define who can see some posts.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Talking about code i think something like this:

typedef struct Status
{
      std::vector<TBPost> posts; //An array/vector of TIME BASED Posts.
      User* uRef; //A reference to the status creator, the app would open the creator profile when you long-press the circl.
      int pCount; //Post count inside the Status

}

Is not much but this is how i think the base of it would work.

Phew, this was the last one, i hope i am not bothering too much (My deepest apologies if i am).

Yet again, sorry for the bothering and hope someone find this useful.
